Derek - Tatiana Stachak Introduction to the Waltz
Hi all. After a brief hiatus due to an 'Angioplasty' after which I was advised not to play for a few days (which was why I didn't play at the dress rehearsal). I've started looking at some more pieces in the book Introduction to the Waltz by Polish guitarist and educator Tatiana Stachak. There are 14 pieces in the book, all fairly easy but all very lovely. I have already looked at 3 or 4 of them but this morning I started a new one 'Frosted Waltz (Zuckerguss Waltz)'. I am thinking of playing a few of these pieces at our local guitar club meeting next week and also playing one as a warm up before Alba in the community concert on the 4th. Excuse the dishevelled look. I'll get a haircut before the concert:-)

Those were great, Derek! So glad you are back playing again.
I think I’ve heard of her before. Maybe Matthew MacAllister played something by her on his YT channel? If you hadn’t said who wrote those, I’d have guessed Sagreras. Really lovely. I’ll have to check those out.

Wonderful Derek!

Very Lovely and melancholic Derek. I am not familiar with these pieces or the composer.
Well done.

Sounding very nice, Derek!

Derek very lovely! I am glad your hand is back on track! Tatiana's method book is very popular in my music school, although I don't share her enthusiasm on playing all the notes in the 3rd fret with the 4th finger (which she does exclusively in her method).
