I've spent the past several months working up (and doing seven performances of) "The Spanish Programme". Now it's time to move on to other pieces.
Rather than tackling all-new material, I'm revisiting music I once had memorized but had set aside for one reason or another. Most often, because I was (a) tired of playing it and (b) more tired of playing it not-very-cleanly. LH accuracy has been a bugaboo for me for as long as I recall. Micro-rattles and buzzes, LH fingers not landing at precisely the same point every go-around. I truly do not understand how Pro Competition winners can manage this, repeatedly. The live on a different plane of existence.
On the list now:
HVL: Preludes & Choro
Barrios: Estudio inconcluso, Minuet in C, Medallon antiguo, Gavota al estilo antigua
Milan: Pavanas 2 & 3
Segovia/Tarrega: various transcriptions of Gluck, Schumann, Grieg, Franck, Handel, Bach, and yes -- Leyenda. Which I promise not to inflict on anyone here! And which I also refuse to call Asturias, which is a publisher's title never used by Albeniz.
