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…

@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?

@joosje Beautiful, Joosje! Very fine articulation (and balance) of the various voices. And I love your handling of the arpeggios! I agree with you (and Eric) about those chords towards the end - I…

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,…

@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: 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 ⏲

@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…
