[MguitarL]

@OkInsanity Thank you for coming by and for the very kind comment!

All the best, Maria

[terceps]

so beautiful... one of my favourites... they seem to be easy but are not. Need a lot of perfection in playing. You have to feel them to play properly. but the effect is worth practising :)

[MguitarL]

@terceps I'm happy that you enjoy playing this piece, and also that you recognise the fact that playing the notes - however accurately - isn't enough!:-) Best wishes to you in Poland! Maria

[theFloatArmy]

Aww so beautiful :) Thank you so much for these songs. I nearly lost all interest in guitar because I had to play only sonatas and menuetts but through your songs I found my love to the guitar play again :) I will always play your songs again and angain because they are easy but still so beautiful <3

And greetings from Germany :), Diana

[MguitarL]

@theFloatArmy That is lovely to hear, Diana! The guitar is a good friend through thick and thin - and I should know!:-) I hope you will find all kinds of music that you like to play, as time goes by!

All the best, Maria

[cloudingsky]

Hallo

Einfach wundervoll. Als ich Desiree zum erstenmal hörte war es für mich als wenn ich dieses, doch für mich eigentlich total unbekannte Stück schon immer kennen würde....einfach nur genial..Ich sags mit ABBA "thank you for the musik..."

[MguitarL]

Thank you, Daniel, for that lovely comment! My best wishes for you!

Maria

[autonomousoul]

"Desirée" is desire in English?

but I just here the breeze in summer afternoon,

and see the fragments of sunlight glittering in the shadow of leaves

ah, Maria is so beautiful and graceful!

I do love this piece...

[MguitarL]

"Desirée" is the name of a young student

of mine, years ago; I was moved by her dedication to the guitar and her willingness to work hard to overcome difficulties...

I'm glad you love this piece! Thanks for listening and All the Best!

Maria

[LeyasVeryOwnWorld]

People can really see your passion for playing.. It's so wonderful to listen to it and see that..

Now I'm so proud to play songs by you in my guitar lessons.. And I have to say.. I really love them..

Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with the rest of the world!

[MguitarL]

Thank you for that lovely comment,

LeyasVeryOwnWorld (Great name!) -

it's really nice to think of you enjoying

playing music of mine! It's a great joy to

have been 'given' music to share...

All good wishes for you and your guitar

playing!

Maria

vrai - il faut simplement faire un peu plus

d'attention aux details!

Best wishes, Maria

[rd2ed]

Another beautifully played piece that you have allowed us to enjoy. I also get pleasure from watching your face as you perform, because you so enjoy what you're doing and I almost expect to hear some humming about to breakout :).

[MguitarL]

Oh dear, Ed, I always hope that people

are not watching my face! - I can't do it,

myself!(When I'm listening here, I mean!)

Just be glad I don't hum!...:-)

[rd2ed]

Before I ever saw your face, I was listening to this piece at a friend's home, and what I pictured was basically what I saw when I played this video on YT. A pretty, loving face that mirrored the melody as she/you performed it. Your face adds to the music....truely!

[MguitarL]

Good heavens!! !- but - Thank you!:-)

[juririsso]

great!

after a long time i didn't played i started again with your music.

So different from i was used, so sofisticated...

thank you i want to learn everything of you!

and thank you for answer always!

Juri Risso

[MguitarL]

Hello Juri! Thank you for coming by and listening, and for your kind comments! I'm

glad for you that you are playig again, and

I hope that you will always have much joy with your guitar! Thank you too for your

wish to play my music - wonderful!

My best wishes to you!

Maria

This is wonderful, I enjoy listening to this. I've played many of your compositions in my 8 years of guitar playing,since I was 6. And this one is by far my favourite.

Greetings from Croatia.

~Andrea

[MguitarL]

Lovely to hear from you, Andrea! - You must

be quite a professional, after eight years

of playing!... I'm happy that you like Desiree so much, since it is one of my own

favourite pieces!...Thank you for listening and for writing!

Best wishes, Maria

any word on when the sheet music to soledad will be published. I want to play it.

[MguitarL]

I wish I could give you a date, bluelight43! - The new bok is in the Ricordi catalogue

but they are still working on it! - it seems

to be a bigger job, this time!...I want it

out, too! As soon as it is out I'll put the

information on youtube...

Thanks very much for your interest in the

piece, and sorry about the delay! Maria

[jussjosh]

Maria

[drunkenidrivebest]

For our English-Speeking YiuTubers:

I started playing this piece a few days ago. I like it better if it is played more slowly, but anyway: It's a wonderful piece of music!

Thanks for this great piece!

[MguitarL]

Glad you have an opinion!

Maria

[drunkenidrivebest]

Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen angefangen dieses Stück zu spielen. Langsamer mag ich es ein wenig lieber, aber es ist trotzdem wunderschön!

Vielen Dank für ein so tolles Stück!

[lute323]

Beautiful. Your style of playing the guitar provides me with useful information. You look very relax while playing and your music sounds natural. All the pieces you play in your videos are totally unfamiliar to me. Anyway, thank you for posting wonderful pieces.

[MguitarL]

Thank you very much for your kind comment,

lute323! Such a comment from an excellent

musician and guitarist serve to make a

composer very happy!

Respect and regards, Maria

[mafalda512]

Hi!Wonderful melody! Thank you

[MguitarL]

Hi again Angelik! Thanks again for all the

listening and the kind comments!

Regards, Maria

[MguitarL]

Thank you for your question,seanthomasq.

I think you must be pushing the guitar when

you change position, in that case - the guitar shouldn't be moving sideways on your knee,should it? Try checking the right arm

for any 'pressure exerted' and also your left

hand for any pulling or pushing...

Maria

[seanthomasg]

Question for you. I have the dynarette cushion as I see you playing with. How are you able to keep it balanced on your lap without it falling off? I've had it for a few months and every time I can left hand position it slips or falls off completely?

[wohoradio]

ich lerne noch und dieses lied hat mir sehr gut gefallen ..........schön ^^

[MguitarL]

Vielen Dank! Gerade hoerte ich deine 'Desiree'- sehr flott und sehr locker!

Viel Spass weiterhin beim spielen!

Viele Gruesse, Maria

[gutplucker]

Played with marvelous feeling! Bravo!

[MguitarL]

Thank you, gutplucker! - There's a lot of feeling written into the piece...

Best wishes, Maria
