Re: Strings in-depth!
@Srinath Subrahmanyan As it happens, I also have an old Hirade, made before the Takamine trademark was included. My parents bought it for me years ago, and it remains in their home,…

Re: Sor Op 60 No 16
@Eric Phillips Very nice playing, Eric! This has long been one of my favourite studies by Sor. You really handle those ornaments well - especially that tricky quintuplet!

Re: Jack's Personal Practice Dairy - and cow farm (opps)
@Jack Stewart I'll take (friendly) issue with your here, Jack. Agreed, Weiss' overall achievement does not stand up to Bach's. But if we restrict the conversation to the lute music I would argue…

Re: Jack's Personal Practice Dairy - and cow farm (opps)
@Bill Young In the original tablature, it's a diminished triad (D-D-F-D-B-F-D-B-F-D) rising to a 'G', giving the impression of a second inversion dominant seventh, as Bill points out.…

Re: Nora's practice diary "Fantasias"
@Barney What is certain is that the campanella passages are not in the original, which was notated in tablature, so there is no doubt about where the notes are intended to be played.…

Re: Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192
Very nice, Eric! I really like the cadenza that you've added - it really brings the piece up a 'level'. I think we forget that flourishes like this were once a normal part of the performance…

@Blaise Laflamme You're fortunate to have studied with such an eminent musician, Blaise. Am I right in thinking he teaches (or perhaps taught) in Montreal?
