Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale @Steve Price This is such a great set of pieces which you play wonderfully, Steve. It is really nice to have a collection of pieces by Stravinsky for guitar. Perhaps a tribute to Bream's efforts.

Re: Week 3: Gaining Momentum @Wai Beautifully done, Wai. Great to see you back. I wonder if this could be played in a Campanella style? That might lend it a more vocal quality. Great work and impressive transcription.

I started classical guitar when I was about 20. I had been playing rock guitar for several years and decided to change. I had no idea what classical guitar was so, after signing up for lessons I bought a record (I go way back) of John Williams playing Bach's Chaconne. I remember thinking "Wow, I am going to learn That?!" I am still thinking 'Wow, I am going to learn That!!'
30 years ago I attended graduate school in Music History at U of W. My guitar playing has ebbed and flowed over the years, but now that I have retired, I am determined to devote much more time to it.
