I'll make sure I let Aaron's Aunt know. She'd be very pleased.

I keep a list of CD wants, and this one is on it. It may not reach the top of the list soon, but if that's the case it'll go on my Christmas list.
I heard a brief sound clip. Koyunbaba is quite different from the only other version I've heard. That's always intriguing.
You may tell the late Mr. Brock's aunt that you've made a sale!

My instrument was the string bass so there was not a great choice of solo classical repertoire, any way I was not good enough to solo, being very rank and file, the nearest I got was when I played in dance bands or jazz bands and would be thrown the odd middle eight just to keep me quite, my other instrument was the flute but again very rank and file due to my lack of skill.

Agreed. The cello suites are my favourite music bar none. Such a beautiful instrument.

Bach's solo flute partita is also really nice.

I am Aaron's aunt and thank you, Mark Harwood, for wanting to listen to Aaron's CD. ChamberNut sent me an email telling me about this.

Aaron loved to play. "Have guitar will travel" - that was on his website. As a boy, he would play a little Hendrix and Stevie Ray for me and some Bach for his mom and dad. He would have been 33 yesterday.

I hope you enjoy his music. He would be happy knowing you had.

Hello. I have the CD, and it's every bit as good as it should be. Your nephew was a fine and gifted person and you must be very proud.
Thanks to Chamber Nut for the recommendation.

Talking about solo. When I play any instrument I'm all by myself enjoying the
guitar, organ, piano, or any just like being with an old friend and sometimes
that is my quiet and prayer time.

[Herbstlied]

Isn't it just great to listen to Bach's Violin Partitas performed by the great Nathan Milstein?!
aaaaaaaah <<<that's a sigh))
I'm a violinist and Milstein is violinist!!!...there's no way to compare!

[Capriccio]

My repertoire on my respective instrument (electric guitar) that falls within the lines of classical music are "Winter: II" by Vivalidi, and a half-finished rendition of Mozart's "Die Zauberflote: Der Holle Rache." The majority of my repertoire is outside the classical realm, as I only got into classical a year ago.

As for songs I'd like to play, Paganini's 24 Caprices are on my list (original eh? ), and perhaps a couple of Pierre Rode's Caprices. I'm trying to learn violin pieces, as they seem to be the easiest thing to transfer to electric guitar. This list is bound to expand as I learn more about classical music, I'm still very much a beginner.

Capriccio, Electric Guitar, really, convert to a proper instrument, acoustic !! lol

[Capriccio]

Lol no worries, my love of the electric has not clouded my love a more natural instrument, as I do play acoustic I'm not quite as well trained though as on electric. I do electric for these pieces because the range is higher and more attainable than on the acoustic, which comes in handy when doing a soprano piece from the Magic Flute. Playing faster is a bit easier too. I could play Vivaldi's "Winter" on my acoustic easy enough though, the movement is slow enough.

[Andante]

I suppose you would get more gigs on electric ??

Just finished re-memorizing the 3rd Cello Suite on the Double Bass for the nth time. This like my laxative if I haven't played for a while. After afew weeks I get the Bottessini out and go through the Sonambula and Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento variations and of course the Elegy. Gliere's Tarantella comes up about two months after that! Modern concertos Such as the Harald Genzmer are fun by they're not the real fireworks you get from Botty!
I played the B minor concerto (from memory of course) for auditions when I was younger, but now this piece gives me the creeps!
