We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions about things he might want to touch on, and offer you a chance to ask him your own questions!
- What questions do you have for Martin?
- What are the hardest passages for you? Any particular areas you would like him to focus on?

Ciao, faccio fatica a differenziare le voci

Giuseppe in questo pezzo, o in generale?
These forums are in English, so for our English-speaking users: Giuseppe said he struggles to differentiate voices. Therefore, I asked whether he meant in this piece specifically, or in general.

Mircea Hi, yes in this piece, I understand the line of the song, but the weight of the other notes no. Sorry but I'm using the translator
-
Giuseppe Hi Guiseppe, thank you for your questions, I will try to give some insights into balancing the different voices :)

I find the main technical difficulty in this study is maintaining a good legato in the melody, particularly in those places where the left hand has to shift position (i.e. throughout the last eight measures of the second section). The main musical difficulty, for me, is to bring out the 'long' melodic phrases. I tend to over-accent the first beat of EVERY measure, which results in a fragmentation of the melody. I am aware of the problem, but the technical demands, modest though they may be, are sufficient to prevent me from really focusing my attention on the music. Maybe I just need to practise more. (Sigh ...)

Looking forward to start learning this piece!

Viktor it is a beautiful gem of our repertoire!

martin I absolutely agree, one of my favorites from Segovia's selection. Recently started with no.3, this one will be the next.
