Great arrangement by takemitsu, and well played! Can you tell me where I can find these scores? many thanks from uruguay

[phoenikiss]

Amazing, both arrangement and playing!

Please, what would be an advisable order to attack the "12 Songs for Guitar" from easiest to hardest? Many thanks from Brazil!

Great arrangement. The fills were a little rushed I thought. Summertime should sound as if the summer breeze is carrying it along it's way, to my mind.

Otherwise, beautiful performance. I really need to get back up to standard in my playing!

I love the combination of Southern Black Gospel American Tin-Pan Alley Showtune Classical Japanese Lyricism

Dear Friend

Exquisite. I am in the middle of reading this note I guess the hardest for left-hand one out of his 12. Toru tried to indicate every minimal harmony and thus some challenge to player.

いいね！　It's got a nice Japanese simplicity at the beginning, with a complicated structure you've truly appreciated. Thanks for posting this. ^_^

All of these Takemitsu arrangements are very deep, subtle yet emotional. It is almost like "zen" feeling.

[jojomellon]

I love Takemitsu and Gershwin the same. I have Takemitsu's 12 Songs for Guitar but am not good enough yet to play any of them sadly. You play great though.

[koseikubota]

This piece is one of the harder ones in the 12 Songs. Once you've got the notes and solved some technical difficulties, they all fit very well on the guitar, though.

[AndanteLargo]

WOW! Great!! Very difficult arrangement! And very well played! You are so talented!

Respect,

Peo

[koseikubota]

Thank you, Peo! Takemitsu's 12 Songs for Guitar are all challenging but very rewarding. and I enjoy learning them. This is my 7th recording. 5 more left including 3 gorgeous Beatles arrangements to come.
