Here is my effort at the Paganini Waltz. It ain't perfect and I would love to be playing it a little faster, but times up. I don't mind saying I found it a deceptively difficult piece.

Here is the slur measure:

Ric, you are almost there on the Maro Pontkalleg. I think you could slow it down just a little and make it steadier, but it's coming along. I noticed in the section just prior to the strumming, you played all the 4th string D and E notes with your thumb as well as the bass. That is what I have ended up doing also, although I also experimented with the i there. I may get a recording tomorrow if I have time, and definately I am going to keep working on it too.
On the Paganini Valtz, I think it sounded nice and quick and steady. I don't think you were doing the bass damping as Mr. Delcamp demonstrated. Damping each bass note at the time of attacking the second eighth note in each measure. At least that was my understanding. Also, I think your count was off on each of the next to last measures in every segment, it sounded like you were leaving out a note before playing the A octave quarter note and leaving a little extra time on that note. You were hitting the beginning of each segment in time though.
Jeremy, great energy on the Valtz, you really play with command on that piece.
Very nice efforts everyone, again this was a lot to work on in 3 weeks. (at least for me!)
