Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Jack Stewart That's awesome, Jack. I hadn't thought about a three-finger trill like that. I like that I can keep my thumb planted. It's "A New Freshness" by Annette Kruisbrink from her Four Seasons…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Jack Stewart You mentioned cross-string trills, and those are not anything I've had any luck with. Since you've clearly worked on them a lot, if you get a chance,…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey? @Eric Phillips That had Drei Tentos, which is at the top of my bucket list pieces. I normally like doing my own fingering, but on that one, I really wish I could find an edition with them,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Ron @Bart Versteeg Thanks a lot. I want to add something to it, but I'm worried about going overboard and losing some of that essence you mentioned. Still new to these forms.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Eric Phillips I saw that in the header. I have no idea where I found that originally, but I always liked how dramatic it was. Maybe someday I can get a little of that drama in my playing, lol.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Jack Stewart Very nice, Jack. That's probably my favorite piece from all of the suites. I think it was in my first classical book ever, Book II of Noad's solo guitar playing (of course,…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey? @Marc Adler I saw The Rite of Spring live and it was unforgettable. A smaller market orchestra in Ohio, but they nailed it.

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey? Not a single piece per se, but an album. When I was dabbling in different sorts of music decades ago, I heard this guy Julian Bream was the boss, so I got some of his CDs, some Renaissance lute music,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One Alexandre Tansman (Poland/France, 1897-1986) - Sarabande from one of his sets of simple pieces for guitar (many not so simple). He wrote four sets totalling 48 pieces,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Eric Phillips This is really nice. I'm actually okay with this kind of music played slower and freer. I know what you mean about the melody in his music.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One @Bart Versteeg I think with the exception of preludes and fugues and a couple others, most of the Baroque music anyone knows is originally a dance... bouree, sarabande, passacaglia, minuet, allemande,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @don @Jack Stewart That's good to know about Muscore. I've been using Finale since the '90s, but it was discontinued last year with no new releases, no more support, and no activations on new devices.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @don I totally agree. I'm not to the point that it comes through in my playing, but I enjoy playing more when I know more about the composer and composition.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Eric Phillips I said this was one of the pieces that stood out to me the most on the album, but you hit the nail on the head for why I never tried to play it.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Jack Stewart That's awesome, Jack. And tough to play. Those open strings towards the end are a welcome sight, lol. That's some excellent engraving, too.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Eric Phillips I love this one. I don't think the change takes anything away at all, and I've heard several people skip them in pieces by Torroba, Poulenc, and others before.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Jack Stewart That's great, Jack. I knew the piece since I'd been listening to the piano album and I think this sits nicely on the guitar. If you ever get comfortable with sharing your transcription,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @David Krupka Thanks, David. These were done by Annette Kruisbrink. I think she is fairly well-known, more so because of the exposure from the documentary, and was certainly successful in her time.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Eric Phillips @Eric Phillips Thanks a lot, Eric. These were for piano, and they were in Annette Kruisbrink's book of transcriptions. I agree that it does feel good in some small way to carry this…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @joosje These are awesome pieces. I need to look into these. I really like her writing and mainly know of her through the preludes that are a little beyond me. Thanks for sharing these.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Eric Phillips This is a beautiful piece. Definitely surprising how short it is. I've been playing it and trying to figure out a way I liked it with a lot packed into such a short amount of time.…
