Well - I am officially OLD today - so I was listening to some of the pieces posted by the folks at Delcamp and ran across a performance of this terrific little Prelude by Tarrega - I had never heard this before - curious.
Anyway, it's a very simple and short piece - more of a sort of fleeting musical thought, really - but, like the Cardoso Milonga, it just grabbed me and I pretty much had to play it. Old Francisco would probably scream to hear me attempt it - but whachagonnado?
Since having learned (FINALLY) how to clean the video files' audio pretty well, I have decided to stop applying effects like reverb when I make these little vids of practices -- I figure I can use them to improve my tone and such more if I do not tinker with the tone any more than happens when the files are cleaned --- but, I had several requests to add a little reverb to this one - so I have included a WMV version with a lite reverb applied. I prefer the virgin sound - but, I guess the reverb sounds ok as well - hope it is used for good purpose ;-)
ALSO - and just for grins - we were having a discussion on Delcamp about the correct tempo of a Pavana -- so, I made a quick little pass at the Milan Pavana (# 6 actually though my stuff has it marked as # 2) -- I don't do Stately or Regal very well - just seems louder and plod-ish to me - but I'll go ahead and include a WMV of the pass from the 17th made as part of the discussion.
