Lob der Tränen week 3. I need to memorize it now. It is a recording from Sunday night, my internet was too slow for uploading it. I printed a few more songs to work on, but I don't think I will record them this week, we will see.

Dale Needles Yes you are right, it is a replica of a Stauffer guitar made by Miodrag Zerdoner. This one is not mine, I borrowed it from my friend while mine is being made. I received pictures yesterday. It should be ready this spring.

Hélène Beaulieu Helene, that is so beautiful, the bass really rounds out the whole piece. Brava!

Schubert's Waltz Op 18 No 6
I wanted to try my hand at writing a transcription, so I chose this piece as I could not find any version of it for guitar online. It's also pretty simple. The original is in B minor, but I transcribed it in A minor. I guess you could put a capo at the 2nd fret.
I have attached the original score for piano and my score for guitar. In my score, I did eliminate the repeat of the B section, mostly just so I could fit it onto one page.

Schumann's Traumerei (Jan 18 Final Submission)
I thought I'd record one last version of this piece that has been the focus of my practice during most of this challenge.
I also have changed my usual microphone placement on this video and the previous one above - let me know if they sound better than my other recordings.
