Having a bad week? Here's some beautiful Bach for you!
|
Some weeks are better than others. And some weeks are better forgotten. Good thing is, bad weeks are over just as fast as the good ones. Although they can feel much longer. :D My week started with me not writing this newsletter I had scheduled last Sunday, and then only a very few people showed up for the Open Air Acoustic Summer Jam Session I had planned for weeks. I blame the bad weather. *ggg*. And the whole week I didn't really sleep well. But now this week's over, and I'm sitting in a pleasant late summer morning breeze with my second coffee and I'm writing this letter. Life's good. As an author, bad reviews can *really* get under your skin. But they are also very valuable, as an actual reader gave their honest feedback about what they don't like about my book. These are valuable pointers that can help me improve my book. For the Bach Cello Suites the main things people didn't like were the small size of the TABs and the fingerings. And they had a point! So I'm back to completely rewriting my Bach Cello Suites, and I'm having a blast! It will take a while, but the result will be better than the current edition. And I get to play all this beautiful music again :D Here's how it will look like. Here's the iconic Prelude of Bach's 1. Cello Suite BWV 1007: Download the PDF with the score in standard notation and tablature, along with the MIDI-generated audio files, here: Happy practicing! And if you're having a bad week, don't dispare, this too shall pass. Stefan Stevie's Guitar Studio |
