Giuseppe Gasparini In order to play decently this is my level, I recorded more complicated pieces: the Gran Vals and others of that level, I think I did more damage than improvement
-
Giuseppe Gasparini Gorgeous!
-
Giuseppe Gasparini bravo Giuseppe, it is beautiful! No mistakes, musical and a wonderful tone. Congratulations
-
Giuseppe Gasparini hehe... I think you're hard with yourself, we all damage some pieces in a way then, but in this one you're definitely solid and in control, and the music just flows as it should

Olalla Thanks

Giuseppe Gasparini Very nice! My problem now is I forget how many great, beautiful pieces Tarrega left for us. I want to play them all! I do like this piece and might just add it to my challenge. Thank you Giuseppe

Here is the first draft of Prelude number 5 - not sure that the timing is too good as I think there is a tendency to make the rhythm into triplets as Martin warned us against! Slight pause on one bit but i didn't have time to re record it. I will study the video and try to improve on it.
one thing I found easy: listening to Martin play it! Learning the notes wasn't too difficult.
One thing I found hard: listening to me play it! - R=Trying to get the timing of the dotted rhythm and the playing it with a nice legato
-
Derek very good Derek. The change in mood from major to minor is very convincing, tone is beautiful.
