@Reinhard Have you seen the Stanley Yates version? I believe he transposed it to D minor. Wondering if that arrangement is any good... Thanks!

@Reinhard This is your best version, Reinhard. Sounds great! You are starting to change my mind about playing Rachmaninov on the guitar. Thanks for submitting it before the challenge ends.

@Derek Thanks Derek! I agree you should give it a try (It's worth it). Now I'm going to listen to Alicia de La Roccha play it the right way, haha.

@Sam Greenblatt Wow! This is awesome, Sam. Thanks for sneaking it in. I wish we would have some Tonebase lessons and training that explore more deeply the Dyens approach and repertoire.

@Jack Stewart Thanks Jack! You're very kind. I remember sitting next to my little sister at (9 yrs old) on her piano bench learning this piece. I wanted someday to play it (somehow) on the guitar.

@joosje This is coming along great, Joosje! I love the way you balance and maintain legato for the moving bass and melody lines. I agree a piece like this takes way longer than the Challenge time…

Re: Week 4
@matt Nice playing on both pieces, Matt! I understand about that "last 10%". Even in some relatively easy pieces, sometimes there is a phrase that is much more challenging than the rest.…

Re: Week 4
@Steve Price Thanks for sharing Annette's video. Do you happen to have an excerpt of an actual score with her detailed trill RH notation, that you can share with us? Her trills sound superb.
