The second and last (for now) Ponce Prelude Number 6 (12 prelude publication). I started this one before number 1 and I think it may be a bit easier. Still needs a bit of polish!
-
Derek thats so deep and touching! thanks for sharing
-
Derek Ponce is amazing, and you got the spirit! Thank you for both inspired performances!

I tried a few takes, can’t seem to get it better. This is such a tricky little piece!
I tried very slow , worked hard on details and shifts, but it does get easier …
-
joosje That was great, Joosje. It indeed looks like a challenging piece. I didn't know Sojo before this, so I listened to a few of his pieces on YT. His compositions are very good. Thanks for the wonderful introduction.
-
joosje Awesome. Looks very tricky Joosje
-
joosje Very beautiful. So glad you posted these Sojo gems. Thank you.
-
joosje Very nice, Joosje. Good, strong rhythm. The left hand looks quite challenging, with a lot of rocking, expanding and contracting.
-
joosje Wow, the combination of those quick repeated chords and tricky left hand tiring shifts is a feat. Great job! Thanks again for introducing some of us to this unfamiliar music.
-
Jack Stewart Derek Dale Needles Eric Phillips Barney thank you for listening. This was pretty challenging, but isn’t that what the challenge is for?
-
joosje I agree. They must call it a challenge for a reason. I mean, you never hear of an Eating Chocolate Cake Challenge.
-
joosje I love to watch you play!! I did not know that music, thank you for sharing!
-
joosje Brava! You have one foot in Latin America, like Dale! Great rhythm and strong pulse!
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Moyses Lopes thanks for listening and for your kind comments. It’s a pleasure sharing this music with you all.
-
joosje Very passionate and energetic performance! well played!

Brouwer - Estudio Sencillo No 7
This one says to play it "as fast as possible". As you all know, I don't play fast music, so this is as fast as I could get it to go while still being reasonably accurate. If you want it faster, change the playback speed to 1.5!
This study is not really my musical cup of tea, but it is fun to play.
-
Eric Phillips nice. Well done Eric. Crispy piece.
-
Eric Phillips Great start, Eric. As I recall, I started that piece a while back (several years ago) but couldn't make any headway with it. You have it under you fingers.
-
Eric Phillips well done the contrasts! wow
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Thank you, Stefanie.
-
Eric Phillips Brilliant! Imagine if you liked this style... Thank you!
-
Moyses Lopes Thank you, Moyses.
-
Eric Phillips It always amazes me that how such a little piece can be so deep and contain so much colour in it, and you played it very well. Bravo!
-
Wai Thank you, Wai.

To relax after the stressful recording of Sojo’s galeron, I decided to come up with this: another Rodrigo Riera piece, the Serenata Ingenua. A bit less complicated for my tormented LH fingers…
btw, it’s a nice encore to end your concert.
-
joosje I like it, and you played it so well. I'm not familiar with, Rieras. It sounds a bit like Sagreras to me.
