Nice work! You took the simple piece and phrased it in your own way with "classical" changes in dynamics, repeats and ritards to add more interest.
And I guess you were serious about not liking the C# in that little chromatic run. You played it straight. I agree with Charles though. It's such a simple piece, with very little to draw on in terms of special interest, so taking advantage of a passing note from a different key makes good sense, especially where it's positioned at the end of the 1st movement. Maybe a little stretching of the pulse along with a staccato attack would have highlighted that run a little more in that style. But, it's your gig! and you're free to do as you wish. Lastly, I would just like to commend you for doing this type of thread. You put in a lot of effort and I'm sure that a lot of people enjoyed the process very much, especially with the recording at the end. Take a bow, you deserve one!

I could probably do a 12 page analysis of baa-baa black sheep, so stay tuned for that! But you're right there is often more to a piece than one might suspect at first glance. I seem to recall reading about Segovia working out a new piece and he would play it this way and that way, then that way and this way. I find it almost like a puzzle and quite enjoyable. |

I rerecorded the piece, and the sound is better now. I was serious about not liking the C#. I find it almost cutesy. So I cleverly hid it behind the D note. But I can appreciate leaning on it, sort like what can happen in Baroque music where the note 1/2 step down from the chord tone is played strongly on the beat. That's one of the neat and amazing things about music, how even a simple piece like this can be interpreted in many ways. Even for me I can imagine doing it fairly straight and fast, or really loose with a ton of rubato. In the end I tend to take the Goldilocks version of not too fast, not too slow, not too strict, not too loose. |

Well, 16 bar tunes is what you're going to want to focus on. Maybe 8 bars at a time. Play and sing for them, though, that's how the music gets in there.

Thank you mc1 for suggesting this piece. I started with classical and haven't learned a new classical piece in many years. This one was a lot of fun and really did help me think about good technique more than I usually do.
Got another to suggest?

I've got dozens or more, right off the top of my head. I partly chose this one because I wasn't at all familiar with it. But I've come to like it quite a bit. I hear it in my sleep. But that's just because it's on my mind. Maybe easy pieces will be my specialty. Even easy pieces are hard, in a way. At least for me they are. If you or someone else is really looking for a piece, years ago I started a "learn a piece a week" thread here, in which I tried to showcase easy but beautiful pieces. Here it is: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=382492 It does take a bit of time, though. Enjoyable time, meaningful time, but time none the less. But you make me think I should find another. This was fun. Thanks again. |

Anyone post a soundcloud clip of the arrangement yet?

Hi Barry,
I did a recording and it's on dropbox. It turned out ok, not great, not awful. I should try to improve the quality of they playing and the recording, but that isn't possible for me at the moment as we are doing some renovations things are a jumble. So I might also just move on. However, it's a sweet little piece that I've grown to like. Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cv4o9vjy8t...ntino.mp3?dl=0 |
