Nicely played Daria.
I learned this piece from an arrangement by Per Olov-Kindgren. Your guitar does seem to have a different tone with the carbon strings. I like it.
I have been using carbons as well. For me, they seem to have moved the tone from a plinky "ukulele" tone and towards a more sustained metal string tone. My description is really exaggerated

Very nice playing. Great dynamics.

Greetings from New York!

Hello Daria,

Once again, a beautiful performance!

I have played this in drop D tuning and feel like the fingerings are a bit all over the place.

Do you think this key translates to less moving around to different positions?

Can you tell me where I could find Mr. Wrights arrangement!

Thanks so much!

Well played.

[riffmeister]

Very nicely done, Daria! That is the first transcription in C major I've heard. I think I still prefer the transcriptions in D major (e.g., John Duarte) for the low pedal tones that are possible with 6 = D.

The strings sound very good but I think the good sounds coming from your instrument have more to do with the player than anything else!

[mc1]

yes, the guitar can add those extra notes that the cello can't and i missed them as well. C major works, but perhaps not as well a G for imitating the cello.

but your playing was very fine as always. looks like you have the neck elevated even more. i enjoyed listening and look forward to your next piece.

The strings sound great, but your performance is a big part of what makes them sound good. VERY nicely done!

Very nice indeed! I have to say I am not partial to the new strings and prefer whatever you used before. My 2 cents!

Yes, I very much enjoyed your playing, Thanks for posting. One thing that distracted me was that the tempo changed a bit. About 3/4 of the way through, slowed down, and at the very end speeded up.

I learned this piece a long time ago, and its still one of my favorite all time pieces. I learned in D and it would be impossible for me to change, however, I never did it with drop D.

Anyway, lovely playing. Thanks!

Lovely, Daria… I liked that. I've always enjoyed Bach's Preludes on piano. Very nice recording…
