Mendelsohnn Op. 19.6 Barcarole (Venetian Gondola Song) 1st update
Ok, I lied. I said I was going to take a break on this but it just keep sitting looking at me saying "Well, are you really going to leave like that?". So what could I do?
This is much better technically - new strings were a big help. I hope to get some help from Tengyue Zhang' masterclass tomorrow. (Wait! What? Tomorrow?)

Here is a nice little Mazurka by the Argentine guitarist/composer from the Romantic period, Juan Alais (1884 - 1914). As I mentioned during the Latin American Challenge, Alais' is considered one of the first Argentine composers who wrote for the classical guitar. This Mazurka, which he entitled Emma, is part of a dance suite which also included the Vals that I posted last month.
