Here's a recording I made the other day of my grade 6 exam piece - "Canarios"
There are a few "buzzed" notes, but I've only been playing for a year (after a 27 year hiatus, of which I played 3 years in my early twenties), so it's certainly not perfect by any means.
It's fascinating to hear so many variations of this piece!
Maybe not perfect, but another nice variation, and enjoyable.
You've done great coming back to CG after a 27yr break. I think it's worth working on this one a little more and you will soon have it perfect.
I like your tempo and style setting the rhythm and beat of the Canarios dance along with the happy feel for it.
That sounds like the version I know. It is also like the one a very young, long-haired John Williams plays.
I think my edition is by Wallach who compiled this really large volume on all of Sanz' works.
I too, play it like the dance it is.
Very nice Frances. I really like this arrangement of the piece.
P.S. are you using your new KL guitar on this one?

Thanks for the kind and constructive comments, all. Much appreciated!

I agree. I couldn't have put it better myself!
I'm also learning this for my grade 6 studies (AMEB). I play at a similar tempo as you. I know where the difficult moves are and that's where you had problems too. I practice those difficult moves over and over again. Just when I think I've got it sorted I make the same mistakes again.
Well done for putting it out there.
