very nice
your dynamics and feel are really nice and natural sounding. without seeing your right hand, i can't tell where you are generating the scratching sounds with your i, m, a.....
maybe you are just hitting the string with the nail, instead of skin/nail, or maybe your nails could be filed a little smoother? just an opinion, good luck! |

I'm using plastic fingerpicks. The guitar's angle and my right hand angle is something I'm working on.

I enjoyed listening... I am also studying this piece at the moment and I am well aware of the initial difficulty it presents.
In my opinion, the short breaks should be even shorter so as not to lose momentum. Also, the sound of strings 4, 5 and 6 is a bit metallic... I don't know if it's the brand of the strings, whether they are new or old... However, it is noted that it has a good base to reach a great performance.

The strings are new, Knobloch Actives Double Silver High Tension. I don't like the 3rd string, too plunky sounding. The rest are so so. They aren't going to stay on long.

Barry, I think it sounds good, and you did a real nice job keeping the accompaniment down in level from the melody, which is quite expressive.
Maybe it trails off a touch in the last third, but as you say, it's not easy.

I'm also working on this piece as well as some others...
I've found for me that I play through pieces pretty mechanically in the beginning, just trying to play the notes correctly in the right spots. It takes a while, but eventually when I get more comfortable (memorizing parts & hand positions, etc.) I get to the point where I play more relaxed and then can focus on dynamics and tempo. I don't know if I'm breaking rules, but I like to vary tempo along with dynamics in certain parts of classical pieces, as I begin to feel the emotion of the composition. Always remember to enjoy what you're playing!

Check out the (at least) two YT versions of Andres Segovia playing it. He does lotsa rubato (tempo variations, pauses) That's out of fashion now, considered good for romantic music or okay if that's how it was probably originally interpreted. Rules? You don't have to accept the rulemakers. They change, and die.
