Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @martin Very nice Martin. Years ago I heard David Russell play it on his Torroba album and it didn't sound too difficult so I ordered it. I didn't even make it to the second measure before I quit,…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @joosje This is really coming along nicely. So moody. This piece has so much range and employs so many techniques, I'm surprised it's not used more as a showpiece and that I've never even heard it.…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Jack Stewart That's a good catch saying they don't sound like prototypical Stravinsky. I found a paper on the set and apparently, they were written in 1921 and are seen as a transitional pieces…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Eric Phillips Ah, I got my fingers backwards. That might explain why I play the way I do, lol.

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @joosje I hadn't heard of that, but I listened to Fend's version and that is an awesome piece. I think the language is certainly modern, but I don't think it's going to chase anyone off.…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Eric Phillips That's such a pretty section. Well played. I seem to remember reading Sor wasn't a big fan of using the i finger either.

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Jack Stewart That's something else. I was trying to find some background on that meeting and found an interview with Bream years later where he said that it was "the most embarrassing moment of his…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Eric Phillips I looked into Bream's connection and found a really good interview with him that covered the topic. He said he met Stravinsky and Shostakovich but nothing came out of it.…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start After the last 2-week intensive, I went through my stash to find shorter pieces to focus on. I found a transcription I had by Jeffry Steele of Stravinsky's Les Cinq Doigts.…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start @Eric Phillips Really nice start, Eric, and I like the breakdown of the piece. I totally get the appeal of Sor. The taste and subtlety he brings really keeps his music interesting.

Re: How important are the livestreams for you? I really like the livestreams but almost always watch them later. I rarely have a question that isn't covered plus the 2x setting is great to make sure I catch everything in a shorter amount of time.…

Re: How important are the livestreams for you? @Geoffrey Hui That's a good idea. I think the moderators do a great job of engaging the participants and keeping things on track, but even Oprah has someone talking in her ear for this very reason,…

Re: Week 5: Mastery in the Making @joosje These are gorgeous. All really well played but I love the rise and fall of 12. You always have such a great sense timing and dynamics and I think it really came out.

Re: What's on Your Stand? @Jack Stewart @Blaise Laflamme I'll have to look up those up. 1 and 4 are a couple of the ones I've been working on. The Ponce is actually pretty similar to the Lutoslawski I think.…

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar? @Jack Stewart I second the Bogdanovic. I'm glad you reminded me of these. I worked on Reversible Cowboy and Blues that Escher built for awhile but I think they got buried in the pile at some point.
