Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Steve Pederson Those are sounding really good, Steve. Hope you enjoyed the convention. And I still have those Parkening books. Decades ago I remember buying them and thinking "Finally,…

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge Probably my favorite Sor study, Opus 35 Nr. 17 or Number 6 in Segovia's set. Recording these is really helpful. Listening to it I realize I need to pay attention to some of the note values more.

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @ferran That's great, both the performance and the sound. I've been hearing it more and I'm liking the intimate sound of nailless playing more and more. Well done.

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @Eric Phillips Those are really sounding good, Eric. I wasn't familiar with either of those, but then he has a pretty expansive catalog.

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @Rick Lord That's fantastic, Rick. I love how there is so much going on in this piece in a relatively short period of time. Great sound and it's already coming along so well.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Eric Phillips Thanks for the information. I can see how the bowl shape could be difficult to get used to. I had an Ovation round-back years ago and it was a bit of a challenge.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Wai That's a great version of this. The campanella section really adds something to it in my opinion. Well done.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Calin Lupa That's really nice, Calin. Yepes was my first exposure to this one as well. To me, this is one of the hardest kinds of pieces to play since that rhythm gives me nowhere to hide.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Eric Phillips That sounds great, Eric. How heavy is the lute compared to a guitar? I read something where someone said it felt like he was going to break his lute after playing guitar since the…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. There's certainly enough material at all levels it seems and a lot of it is readily available. The quality of the scores seems pretty good too.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart That's funny, Jack. I wasn't familiar with that Doc Watson piece, but I looked it up and I can totally hear it. I guess it speaks to the universality of music.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. He really does have some interesting pieces. He wasn't shy about experimenting a bit seems and it makes it really fun to go through.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles I found a CD of Johann Kasper Mertz's shorter pieces which includes some real gems. I didn't know much about him aside from his Elegie and some parts of the Bardenklänge which are well above my grade…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Andre Bernier That's a lovely piece and well-played. It always feels like such a win once I get to the point where I don't need the score. Very nice.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @David Krupka I stumbled on a really well-done site dedicated to the choro. I always thought these terms referred to a particular meter or rhythm, but there's a lot more to it at least in this case.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @don These are really nice, Don. And thanks for the tip on Ryuji Kunimatsu. He has some great arrangements and I was reading through some of his original works too. Really impressive.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Blaise Laflamme Thanks Blaise, and I agree this set isn't easy. I've played through them before, it's just nice that not all of the material he wrote is at the level of things like etude 7 and 12…
