Re: Share your Regondi, I share mine (and watch me roast myself)! @Martin Martin, Regondi was Italian in name only. Although the details of his early life are not well documented, what does seem certain is that he was born in Switzerland,…

Re: A lesson on arrangement @David Krupka Let me add, though, that a course on arranging popular songs (I have the classic ‘American Songbook’ in mind) would be of interest to me!

Re: A lesson on arrangement Don, there is already one whole course on this topic on Tonebase: ‘Arranging folk melodies’ by Laura Snowden. Definitely worth checking out!

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time @Eric Phillips I wouldn’t drop the f# yet, not when you are so close to getting it. (And in my view, the voice leading needs it, but I concede that Sor tends to be annoyingly ‘correct’.…

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time @Eric Phillips Since you ask for an opinion, I’ll offer one! I would say you haven’t fully resolved the main difficulty of the passage, which (it seems to me) is getting to the second position D…

Re: Secondary Instruments For me, the obvious choice would be another member of the plucked instrument family. This is a large family that includes the lute (both ‘renaissance’ and ‘baroque’) the vihuela, the theorbo,…

Re: Influences of Spain on French Music @Jeremiah Alphonsus I'm not sure what relevance this has to the topic. In any event, the book does not 'debunk' so much as present a point of view that is quite divergent from that of other scholars.…

Re: Week 1: Wanderer over a Sea of Fog! @joosje Lovely playing, Joosje! I especially like number two - I find it works well at your tempo. And it’s nice to hear the low ‘D’s in number three. It’s surprising that seven string guitars are…

Re: Sounds of Bells – João Pernambuco's Sons de Carrilhoes I have a question about the version of 'Sons de Carrilhoes' that is commonly played on the classical guitar. Is this an arrangement of some 'original', if such a thing exists?…

Re: Brazilian Rhythms in Classical Guitar Repertoire! @Eric Phillips I certainly agree with your approach to repertoire choice. (Although I am willing to take on the occasional 'fast' piece, even if it takes a long time to work it up to tempo.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Olli Very nice, Olli. You really capture the ‘capricious’ character of the piece. (I used to play it so slowly that it sounded more like a dirge than a Capricho!) Btw,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips You're lucky! I'd love to have seen him. My parents had a couple of his recordings in their LP collection. Listening to him really cultivated my love of the guitar.

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips That's a nice analogy! And I agree with what you say about playing repertoire like this. I always think it's better to play an 'easy' piece well than a difficult piece badly.…
