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?

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?
While working on the Carcassi challenge I realized I could use some help with repeats. I know some of the baroque lessons talk about ornaments but I'm not sure how to approach classical and later…

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.
