Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Wai You’re right, Wai, ‘attacca’ does imply ‘without pause’ (i.e. ‘attack!’). But the final chord of opening section lasts four full beats, so you have time to catch your breath, so to speak.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart Dylla and Ceku are both such fine players! I guess one of the hallmarks of great music is that it permits a variety of interpretations. Or is it that great performers can make a…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart I agree with you, Jack - the ‘allegro’ is a little difficult to make sense of, what with all those strange off-beat accents. But it is, I guess, what Mertz wrote.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart This is coming along nicely, Jack! It’s a very challenging piece. Personally, I would take it at a slower tempo, with more liberal use of rubato.…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @Eric Phillips This is already sounding good, Eric. (And no complaints about tempo this time! ) I concur with Blaise, by the way - I think you could manage the majority of these Caprices if you…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Wai Beautiful, Wai! Very nice articulation and phrasing of the melody. I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but what you played is actually just the first part of the Nocturne.…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @Eric Phillips For the listener, the second take represents a big step forward, I would say. What for for the player may feel like small improvements can in fact mean a far more satisfactory…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Eric Phillips I for one like it a lot, Eric! I don’t know if others will agree, but I find it much easier to make sense of the harmonic structure at this tempo.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Blaise Laflamme I wonder, Blaise, if string spacing, rather than scale length, might be the critical factor?

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Eric Phillips Very well played with effective use of dynamics, Eric. To my mind, though, it doesn’t quite have the character of a bagatelle (as I understand the term) at this tempo.…

Re: Hannah Murphy: Italy in the 19th Century - Legnani, Paganini, Regondi I’ll repeat here a point I made in another thread: I don’t see that Regondi can reasonably be considered as Italian, except (possibly) by ancestry. As noted above, he was not born in Italy;…

Re: Week 1: In the Salons of 19th Century Paris! @Blaise Laflamme Beautiful playing, Blaise. I love the attention to detail you bring to even a modest little piece like this. That’s musical integrity! And the new guitar sounds great,…

Re: Week 1: In the Salons of 19th Century Paris! @Eric Phillips Nicely played, Eric! This is taken from Coste’s ‘revision’ of Sor’s ‘Methode complete pour la guitare’. (It is less a revision than a reformulation of Sor’s principles,…

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!
