hello, i like this "low key " approach - i see that many guitarist play it "bright" (like for an competiton or an exam.) - thanks for playing it softly.

still i dont get the gist of ponces music -

@jacquillo

thanks. yeah, i do play it more low key than i've heard others do it.

I do like composers (like him) that use conventional harmony in a somewhat unconventional manner, if that makes any sense. cheers.

Somehow your style is entertainig even if it's not classical - it reminds me Anthony Glise - he is classical guitarist, but some funny way you two are similar. Thanks for uploading the whole sonata - I lost the music already about 20 years ago (full of my teacher S. Rak's markings . . .)

[troubleclef]

thanks. the whole sonata isn't done yet though. two more movements (2 & 4) to go. i worked on 4 for quite a while. just now i realize how i've let it drop. oops. maybe i'll start working on it again. i've never worked on the 2nd movement, as far as i know. it's nice too, though.

Saludos desde Mexico :):)

I like the ending

Oh yes, sorry, I saw that you had the III movement uploaded and thouht there is the II movement, too which I didn't see for some reason. Then I totally forgot the IV movement, because it was actually 28 years ago when I played the sonata. I remember the chromatics on the II movement (I loved that part), and I remember the cool rhytm on the IV movement. Please, may we hear the whole thing sometimes?
