Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje @Jack Stewart Thanks a lot. Most of the suite is over my level, but it was really a good find, I think.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. The similarities aren't so noticeable in this piece, other than the fact that it is such a peaceful dance nestled in between heavily contrasting sections (here,…

Bogdanovic: Suite brève: III. Sarabande Just learned about Dusan Bogdanovic's Hommage to J.S. Bach, Suite brève. There are some very tough movements, but they're actually not too bad compared to some…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips That's really nice, Eric. I think Aguado really excels in these shorter character pieces.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart Very nice, Jack. Sorry to hear about the nail drama, but hope you enjoy LA. There's so much I love about the guitar, but nail care is not part of that.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje These are wonderful pieces, and very well-played. I especially like the Sarabande.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
Another of Alexandre Tansman's short pieces for guitar, this time his Sicilienne. I knew he was born in Poland, then became a French citizen, but I didn't realize that because of his Jewish heritage,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips Very nice on both pieces, Eric. Aguado does do some interesting things. I kind of like when I'm surprised where a piece goes harmonically.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart That's awesome, Jack. I once had learning all of 996 as a guitar goal, but it keeps getting further and further away.

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
@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 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.
