On Looking: Maria Popova in conversation with Alexandra Horowitz

A warm and inviting little piece, written by Christoph Gluck. Great sunny vibe to it, it's a nice.... 
(key of A major)

Andante ~ C. Gluck

An Israeli anthem, very baroque sounding, one of my favorites to play.....It has an interesting, and oddly independent bass line, which makes it challenging....but that's part of the fun! 

Hatikvah (Hope) ~ Cohen

A unique and tricky little piece in E minor. I enjoy playing this one despite it's challenging nature.

Hornpipe ~ Henry Purcell

A fun & playful little piece written by Mauro Giuliani. Quite challenging, but none the less, perpetually enjoyable....

Op.48 No.14 Allegretto in E major ~ Giuliani

A happy little tune with an active melody line. Written by: Weichenberger 

Gigue in G major ~ Weichenberger

One of my fav's from my old set list, a cool baroque sounding piece by Jean-Baptiste Lully  

Air ~ Jean-Baptiste Lully

An arpeggio variation by Giuliani, very tricky this one is.....

Op.38 Variation in A major (Arpeggio) ~ Giuliani

A classic Beatles tune done in Classical fashion......Enjoy!

Yesterday ~ Classical Variation

An awesome piece that I fell in love with as soon as I heard it! This is just part of the overall piece, but it's a nice little stand alone with this arrangement. Will learn the rest in the near future.... : )

Sonate for Violin Allegro Bwv 1003 (petite arrangement)~ Bach

A beautiful little piece by my favorite guitar composer, Mauro Giuliani! One of my fav's to play as well.....it's just a really nice piece all the way around!
