Eli's Portrait - Sergio Assad
I bought a long time ago the score, and now I decide to work on it. This is a very beautiful piece, with a lot of technical challenge.
Now I am fingering the score, and working in the first section in a very low speed.
In a few days i'll add a video of my practice.
I always try to have a 20 minutes of technical routine and 40 minutes with the repertoire every day. (Sorry about my english)

This sounds good.
-
What a hauntingly beautiful piece! What's your favorite interpretation of this one?
Your routine sounds very solid!
Looking forward to hearing this piece from you 
-
Martin David Russell has a beautiful interpretation.
-
Jorge Oh right, he released an album not long a go with all the portraits by Sergio Assid, the Cantigas de Santiago!
-
-
I had never heard this before, so I looked it up. What an incredible piece of music!
-
I don’t know this piece, looking forward to it. It seems this concert is going to span across all musical periods, so good….
-
Emma Yeah, it will show a beautiful spectrum of the music for the guitar!

-
Thanks for introducing a new piece. Such a beautiful piece. Really looking forward to it

After a busy week, I start working in the piece.
I split it on 5 sections, so I can work slowly and with more details. I am playing the first section with the metronome in 60 and playing every note with the same rhythm so I can focus in the motion of both hands, relaxation and building a strong muscle memory.
I share with you an audio of my practice.

Jorge What a great way to practice a piece! I'm going to steal that.
It sounds lovely, by the way!
-
Eric Phillips thanks!!!
-
Jorge that's fantastic! It's what we call pre-rythm practice, I talked with Steve goss about that a bit in his livestream on Time Management in Practice! Glad that you put it so beautifully into practice!
-
Martin thanks!! I will check out that livestream.
-
Jorge thanks for sharing this piece, I did not know about it. That'd be great if you can share your practice through a YT video.
-
Jorge Cool, hope you'll enjoy it!

Now, I am practicing the first three sections in a very slow speed, still changing the fingering of the third section, the most challenging part of the piece.
The second section is a beautiful melody with harmonics (Audio), and the score has very good information!!!
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
