Re: Week 3 - Tears of Joy 🎉
@Eric Phillips Just my lay interpretation, but I think that the theme is clear, but the mood is very different, so it would be a good way to bookend a variety of variations.…

@Eric Phillips This is really nice, Eric. I agree with Ron; the harmonics are a great touch.

Re: Week 2 - Blood, Sweat & Lágrimas 💧
@David Krupka Thanks a lot, David. NOT arpeggiating things sounds so strange and blocky to me while I play, but listening back, it sounds more normal, so recording more often to really understand…

Re: Week 1 - Make It Sing 🎶
@David Krupka A Dowland interpretation would be really interesting. I've been dabbling with my own take à la Leo Brouwer since he's probably the composer I'm most familiar with,…

Re: Week 2 - Blood, Sweat & Lágrimas 💧
Here's a take on it. The romantic era isn't something I play a lot, so this was fun to work on. I discovered that while this might be one of his simpler pieces, it is by no means simple,…

Re: Week 2 - Blood, Sweat & Lágrimas 💧
@Eric Phillips I really like that, Eric. I could hear this as part of a theme-and-variations set in the vein of someone like Daniel Asia, Bryan Johanson,…

Re: Watch Party: The Lágrima Challenge
@JUAN ALONSO @Jonathan L That's what I do, and it seems I can play it so much cleaner than moving to the higher register. The 2 works well as a guide finger down to the following b and a#.…

Re: Week 1 - Make It Sing 🎶
@David Krupka I agree, David. I started this and was pretty impressed. Even though I use different fingerings and might articulate things differently, I don't think anyone can argue with the…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary You should give it a try. I don't know how much I'll get through on this particular piece, but the lessons on these first measures are very good and apply just as well to other…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
The first 18 bars with a mix of fingerings appropriated from a variety of sources. They work for my hands, so now I just want to clean it up, work on the tempo in places,…

Re: 🎨 From correct to musical
@Anthony Roberts I think you are right on the money here. I originally had a very similar approach. Listening to my old recordings, I noticed they all come across as very generic,…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
Other than occasionally reading through this, I've never spent any serious time working on it since I don't normally play anything this long. I've been enjoying working through this first section,…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Eric Phillips Nice, Eric. I agree with Jack that the free strokes help make that line sound lighter, which fits that part of the music better to my ear. I like the muting of the bass notes as well.…

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the reply. That's really interesting that you mentioned trouble recording with carbons. I switched to La Bella Vivace a few months back, which are carbon trebles.…

Re: Week 4: Play us out 🎉
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks a lot, Blaise. I've never actually used Knoblochs, but I thought about giving the Brouwer set a try. Hopefully, I don't like them TOO much since they run around $27 usd.…

@Jack Stewart That's excellent, Jack. I like how the ornaments really fit well in the time and don't stand out too much. My attempts at cross-string ornaments always come out too loud,…

Re: Week 4: Play us out 🎉
@Jack Stewart Thanks a lot, Jack. Brouwer's has been writing more and more difficult music as time goes on, so I was happy to find something relatively new that I thought was within my range,…

Re: Week 4: Play us out 🎉
@Dale Needles That is awesome, Dale. I love how Piazzolla's music can be very pretty, but also keep its edge. This arrangement works very well, I think.
