Ponce - Estrellita
I think this may be the first posting of a Ponce piece this challenge. I found this arrangement of his song Estrellita by Mario Abril.
-
Eric Phillips It always amazes how you can present so much music and at such a high level of musicianship. Great job on both these pieces (including previous Brouwer #5)
-
Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It's actually not me playing, it's Martin wearing an Eric mask.

Eric Phillips, I'll echo Jack's words, you have a beautiful way to play and a lot of musicality. Thank you!
-
Moyses Lopes Thanks, Moyses!
-
Eric Phillips Hahahahaha, I love it!!!
You got us, Jack Stewart -
Eric You know, I am in the middle of a CD production with a wonderful musician from Puerto Rico, so I am fully immersed in this music right now and your interpretation is really hitting the spot! It's so incredibly well performed!
-
Martin Thank you so much, Martin, I appreciate you saying that. I am certain that the CD you're working on will be nothing but the best.
-
Eric Phillips You beat me to it Eric - just about to record some Ponce pieces! Well played again!
-
Derek Thanks, Derek! Are you working on his preludes?
-
Eric Phillips just a couple at the moment Eric

Eric Phillips so wonderful and romantic!!!
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Yes. It reminds me of Schumann's Traumerei.
-
Eric Phillips wonderful. You have the feeling - and the hands- to give this piece the sweet sound and soul. You inspire me to work this one again.
-
joosje I worked on this one on Monday almost as an afterthought, but I really like it. I think I may try to commit this to memory.
-
Eric Phillips I kept checking the challenge page last 3 days and wondering why nobody uploaded videos again, and I found that I was checking the "Week 3" page the whole time, and missed all the great performances here.
-
Wai I’ve done that too! Glad you found Week 4, Wai.

Eric Phillips this is my favorite one;-)

Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Yes, the harmonies are so interesting.
-
Eric Phillips You play this very well Eric. It's not only quirky but I find it quite tricky as well!
-
Eric Phillips Great, Eric. It starts off so pleasant and then things get twisted. I can see why you like it.
(So do I) -
Eric Phillips nice. For me and some friends in Amsterdam, this was the ‘scout etude’. Glad you make it sound more ‘crispy’
