I wanted to get a couple more pieces by Sor in before the end of the second week. One thing I really appreciate about this forum is being able to submit video takes that are “less than perfect”!
The first one is just the first half of his Op 7 Fantasie in C minor. I performed this for my senior recital back in 1992 and haven’t played it since. I’ve been resurrecting it, but after this point it gets much more difficult.
The second one is the fun little Minuet in C. I also performed this one for my senior recital, but because it’s much simpler, so I’ve kept up with it. Recently what I've been working on is various ways of executing the descending line from F in the trio section. (The C69 chord at the end is not in the original score. )
