Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Barney I’m totally with you! I find just starting a new piece and getting it under my fingers requires pushing through an invisible barrier. Once that’s done it’s much easier to return.

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Barney What a marvelous challenge. This melody is one of my favorites! Now you have the “bird’s eye view,” and can zoom in and craft each poem just as you like. An excellent start—already lovely!

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! For this challengeI memorized the second movement (Andante Religioso) of La Catedral. I tried to paint the melody horizontally and focused on phrasing.

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Steve Pederson Very nice Steve! I’m very impressed by your transcription. It might be fun to try different to separate the main melody from secondary themes with different colors or dynamics.

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @don Nice job bringing out the melody. The inner voices of the arpeggios are sometimes not audible. I recommend slowing down and listening for evenness of inner voices and making sure you can hear…
