Thanks so much! It is really fun to play. I wish the fast arpeggios sounded more like arpeggios and less like rolled chords, though.

Thank you for listening and subscribing!

Thank you, Juan!

Thank you very much for listening!

Thanks! I’d love to be able to play it like Bream did!

Thank you for listening!

Thank you so much for listening and for the very kind words! Many blessings to you as well.

Thank you, Matteo!

Thanks!

Thank you, Josh. Of all the Sor I have played, I really think this is my favorite.

Thank you, Juan. It's part of a set of three preludes that were published as a second edition in 1971, but I think at the bottom of this first prelude I can read the date 1954, so I would guess that is the date of the first edition. I could only find a few facts about the composer, but it seems that one of her guitar teachers was Maria Luisa Anido, and she studied composition with none other than Alberto Ginastera.

@@ericphillips7057it really caught my ear!

Ha! I'm sure this is not your cup of tea, Josh. Thanks, as always, for watching.

Thank you so much for listening and subscribing!

Thank you, Tobias!

Thank you for listening and subscribing, Ramon! The harmonics were the most challenging part of the piece.

Thanks, Tate. I know nothing about him, other than his dates (which I copied from a David Jacques video of this piece).

Thank you very much!

Thank you, but I have a long way to go to achieve that status.

Thank you so much for listening!

Thank you, I have. I was experimenting without nails for a few weeks, but I have since grown my nails back.

Thank you very much for listening!

Thank you, as always, Juan, for watching and for the kind words.

Thank you very much for listening! I cannot find many pieces by her, but those I have found are fantastic and deserve to be played more often.

Thank you, Tobias! I have actually grown my nails back now. I was getting tired of struggling for a good sound.

@@ericphillips7057 Ok :-)

Thanks, Tate. I hope you're not too upset, but I have grown my nails back 😥. I was just getting tired of fighting with my sound so much. So sorry!

@@ericphillips7057 You're dead to me...hahahaha jk! I don't care at all - do whatever you need to do to get the sound you want. And that's a beautiful thing about nails, they grow back :) I've even heard of some players that go back and forth between flesh and nail because they like both sounds.

Thank you, Juan, I agree!

Thanks, Josh! Since there are YT videos of this piece played by Anido herself, it's safe to say that my interpretation is not definitive.

Thank you, Matteo!

Thank you, Matteo!

Thank you, Andre!

Thank you! I am really enjoying Anido's music these days.

Yes, I really lack patience! It is a beautiful collection. I've started working on Preludio Pampeano. Much more difficult, so it will be while before I post anything (if ever).

@@ericphillips7057 Hahaha your lack of patience is our benefit :)

Thank you, Juan!

Thank you so much!

Thank you, Steven. It's just one camera, of course, shooting multiple takes from different angles. I'm too cheap to buy multiple cameras!

Thank you, Andre!

Thank you very much for listening!

Thank you. I found the score by googling "calandra pequena serie para guitarra pdf" and it was the first website that came up, from VP Music Media. If you have trouble, let me know your email address and I can send the score to you.

Thank you, Tobias!

Thank you, Juan! It is a bit challenging, with a rather thick texture. I eliminated some harmonics early in the piece that I find unplayable.

Thanks, Tate. Her connection to Llobet would appeal to you, I am sure, since you play so much of his music so very beautifully.

@@ericphillips7057 Thanks Eric! Much of Llobet's music is way out of my technical range but I do love it. I really like Anido's 'Cancion del Yucatan' as well :)

@@tateharmann3057 That is excellent, and pretty challenging. Right now, I am working on Triste No 1 from her Impresiones Argentinas.

@@ericphillips7057 Ah cool, I will look that one up!

Thank you for listening!

Thank you for listening!

Thanks, Tate! I love playing the lute. It does sound better without nails, but I'm still on the fence with regard to the guitar and nails. I hope we get to hear a recording of you on the lute soon!

Thanks for listening! I would say the renaissance lute is comparable in difficulty to learning classical guitar. I've been playing it for a couple years now, but this summer I am being a bit more intentional about it. The left hand technique is virtually the same, but the right hand is challenging. My right hand technique is still very much in progress. I am also sorting out the issue what I want to do about fingernails. I much prefer the sound of the lute without nails, but having played guitar with nails for many decades, I don't want to give them up completely. First world problems, I suppose. 😀

Thank you, Juan!

Thanks, Steven. I confess I haven't cut my nails in about a week now, so I might not keep this up too much longer.

@@ericphillips7057 whatever works best for you -- your nail sound is good!
