I can"t tell you how I enjoyed your program with all your advice how to play the pieces. I stopped playing 10 yeard ago due to look after my late husband. Now I am so sorry I have stopped and even sold my guitar. Your playing has spurred me on to buy a guitar again and start playing again. Thank goodness I still have all my music books. Thank you so much for making a video of Sor's studies. I am following your lessons from now on. Kind regards Beppie from South -Africa.
Thank you so much! Great performance! I am just breaking my fingers on this piece as I am a beginner (about 1,5 years lessons via Zoom. I love your videos as they are really really helpful. A big difficulty for me is the last part (Allegro vivace) as you have to play some notes shortly and some not in the same chord 🙈 Greetings from Germany!
Ya, this is really a too difficult if you're just starting out. But ya, the final movement is a bit hard to control the texture. Greetings from Canada.
Dear Bradford, I would be very interested about your thoughts on learning a piece like this by heart. Why didnt you do so? How much more energy would you have had to spend? Are there pieces that are not generally memorised? I find especially the forth variation really hard to get into my head. Any tips on that? Lots of question for a busy man :o). Any answer is appreciated. Best wishes from Germany.
So the main thing about me is that for the website's weekly content I really can't memorize everything. I'm trying to do two new performance videos a week so it would be difficult. For my own personal concert repertoire I try to memorize as much as possible. Variations are at least easy in that you can memorize one at a time. I do have a lesson. on memory tips: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/lesson-how-to-memorize-music/
i know this is a late response, but the fourth variation for me was mostly easy, except the second row. Try to memorize a row by row and you will slowly get it going. First three are pretty easy to memorise.
Haha, I'm so distracted by the new puppy that I forgot to include the 3rd variation in yesterdays post, here's the updated video!
That is the most acceptable answer for forgetting!

Bring out the puppy 🐶 please.
She's the star of the show!
its not supposed to be metronome perfect, it loses its soul when you play it in the 21st century
