Gonna try to make better recording of this variation tomorrow.

27

Working on memory here. Pavan no 3 by Milan. I have all the notes in my head, but I sometimes skip a section or do a wonky repeat at times. Memory has been a challenge this past year. I suspect it has to do with the extremely slow recovery post hurricane Michael.

These Milan Pavans are harder than they look/sound.

I swear to change strings soon. Haven’t had much time to lately with unfortunate circumstances. Often don’t start practicing until I’m tired.

48

This is the fifth and sixth variations from Luis Milan by Joaquin Nin-Culmell. Wanted to redo the sixth one, because I was super tired when I made the recording last night.

Starting practice after you’ve already been up and doing things for 10-12 hours is hard and taxing on even hoping for decent practice.

Final variation on Milan’s sixth pavan by Joaquin Nin-Culmell.

I’m less than half pleased with this recording, but, given the duties I have taken on lately, that’s all I had time for today.

Enjoy my suffering. Lol

31

Working on the first variation of Sor’s variations on La Folias.

Just in case you wonder about my shirt in this video and the last one, my shirt was washed. Today. A friend let me go to get house use her washer and dryer. I still don’t have hot water (as a result of continued recovery efforts brought on by Hurricane Michael which damaged my home over a year ago). My wardrobe is kinda limited for now.

A little bit of the introduction from Carnaval de Venecia

35

Haven’t had much time to practice or post videos. People are finally starting to show up to work on my house to do repairs caused by Hurricane Michael back in October of 2018z However, rats are starting to invade my life and I’ve had to devote some time to pest control and keeping my two two dogs safe. I also have to help out with working on the house.

This is an excerpt from the Passacaglia from Rodrigo’s Tres Piezas Españolas. I’ll post and say more about this later.

I need to put slurs to this. However, I also want to keep practicing it without slurs because it is a great exercise for the right hand.

After posting a video, and mentioning how frustrated and displeased I was with the recording, I decided to make another recording of the same Pavan. I’m slightly more pleased here.

Back to other pieces now.
