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
@joosje I love that, Joosje. Such a happy piece, but it looks tough. Very well done.

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
Two short pieces from Album pour les tout-petits, Op. 103, by Mél Bonis (1858-1937). There's a great documentary of women composers by pianist Kyra Steckeweh,…

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.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. I'm surprised too. They mostly each have a clear technical focus like the Brouwer studies, but with a bit more modern language.…

@Ron Thanks, Ron. They were new to me too, so that's what I like about these challenges. Helps me find new things.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips You make II look really smooth. The score looks harmless, but I messed with it for a bit, and the fingering on that is crazy. Very challenging. Nicely done.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
A few more of Annette Kruisbrink's etudes. No. I is pretty straight ahead. No. VI is tough with all the harmonics and ringing notes and soooo much space for mistakes to shine through. No.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. It's from one of Annette Kruisbrink's collections of music by women. She wrote a method for guitar, and I think the etudes might be from that,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips Those are tough, but very well done. II is really nice, and I love that recurring melody. I get what you mean by III. I won't touch anything that has those type of constant chords.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
A quick recording of Andantino by Madeleine Cottin (1876-after 1952), a French mandolin and guitar player. It's number 3 from a set called Etudes Recreatives,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@joosje Ahimsa is a fantastic piece, but quite a bit beyond my range at the moment. I didn't know much about her until this, but she is quickly becoming one of my favorites.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart I hadn't heard of Musical Toys, but I've listened to it a couple of times. Great music, but I can see how it would be tough to transcribe. Such a good set of pieces.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Two
@Dave McLellan Very cool, Dave. When you mentioned Assad's "Miniatures," I thought they might be nice short lower-level pieces I might work on. After listening to Connie Sheu's recording of them,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips Wow, that's really impressive, Eric. I love how Pratten goes all-in with emotion. I've messed with a couple of her pieces, and that makes them really fun to play with.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Two
@don Very nice, Don, and very timely, as David said. It's a beautiful piece, and I know what you mean about getting immersed in it. A lot of waves of sound.
