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.…

Re: Week 4: Play us out 🎉
@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.…

Re: Week 4: Play us out 🎉
@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.

Re: Week 2: What's on your music stand? 🎶
@Eric Phillips That's really good. This has always been my favorite Granados piece. I like that you played A# and B in the intro as hammer-ons. It was the rage for a while,…
