Joe,

Great job making sure the melody pops out. Good tone as well.

I'd just a slower tempo. And watch your accompaniment rhythm. It should be consistent in tempo and even throughout. Part of the magic of these pieces are the purposeful lack of development and monotony. Bring it out! Make sure it's all consistent.

I have an arrangement of this piece that you might like as well: http://www.classicalguitarblog.net/free ... ienne1.pdf

Chris, thanks for your comments, i'll take them on board.

Also just looking at your arrangement just now, interesting in a different key, thanks for that.

Thank you, Joe.
I've never heard this piece before...it's a new one for me, it really does have an unusual melody.
I appreciate that you gave us this opportunity to hear you play, I enjoyed your performance very much.

This is such a great piece. I have the notation to this, I just need to get around to learning it one day. Thank you for posting this!

There is something really haunting about this piece -- the strange melody and almost "broken" sounding rhythm despite the even underlying pulse. Some kind of surreptitious quality that evokes the feeling of avoiding some unknown assailant, yet having the need to always look over one's shoulder for that seemingly ever-present danger.

Thanks for posting this! (I hope it's not stuck in my head now!!)

The first time I heard this piece it really did get stuck in my head, and I couldn't UNstick it until I had learned it.
