This is amazing, Sally. You have outdone yourself. You have to be the only person on the planet who can play this and explain it so coherently. It is brilliant piece and brilliantly played. Thanks for inspiring me. Maybe I can work on the first four measures.😅
Hi Roger, wow, thank you for your generous and wonderful words about this piece, tutorial, and performance! Your warm acknowledgements mean so much to me. 🙏 It was a pleasure and joy to make this video and chart for El Puerto! I've played the piece for much of my adult life, and yet it continues to amaze me everything that is in this great piece. I'm thrilled you bought your chart and can follow the lesson with your CSA in hand! 💃🏻 Have fun with this one, if even for just a few measures!
Dear Sally, SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!!!!! Thank you for one of my favourite composers and for an excellent performance/tutorial, your video will be helpful for many pianists, congratulations for over 20.500 subscribers to your great channel, you deserve more and more..., again my best wishes from quite warm Poland to San Francisco, have a happy sunny week. Joanna
Dear Joanna, thank you for your kind and gracious message! It's so nice to hear from you again. I continue to appreciate your warm words of support for my channel and your wishes that these videos will help many pianists! 🎵Enjoy your sunny November in Poland, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you from San Francisco! 🍁💕
Dear Sally, I'm very happy to see you again! It is always with great pleasure that I attend your performances, comments and tutorials! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and erudition! Best regards!
Dear Homero, thank you for your beautiful words of support and acknowledgement! I deeply resonate with Albéniz, and it is a joy to be making these performance videos and in-depth tutorials on his music. I am also very happy that you ordered your charts for Evocación and El Puerto, and will be working from them as you learn these wonderful pieces. Very best wishes and regards to you as well! 💕
❤❤❤❤omg! What a great surprise. I can’t wait to relearn this with your charts. Beautiful playing. Interesting voicing thank you Sally for all your work on these tutorials 🥰
Hi Gina! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm about the video and the playing on a piece you also play, know well, and love! ❤I had fun preparing the lesson and chart going deep into all the polyrhythms of this tap dance. I think Albéniz outdid himself with this mono-thematic dance piece. When I play El Puerto, I imagine my fingers tapping the keys replicating the footwork of the dancers! 💃🏻 I really appreciate your continuing support for all the work that goes into making these tutorials and charts. 🙏
A wonderful performance Sally from a composer probably more associated these days with the Guitar than Piano. Alas, as a beginner, it's way beyond my limited capabilities but entertaining, musical and informative as always nevertheless.
Hello Paul, thank you for your wonderful words about the performance and tutorial. Even though this piece is not one you will likely play, I appreciate hearing that the lesson content and presentation was engaging and informative! Best wishes to you. 🎵
Thank you Sally. Even as a very late starter your tidbits on technique are invaluable. I'm afraid I'm still very much at the fumbling around the keyboard stage albeit I am able to read music on a basic note for note level, although musical harmony is still something of a mystery! I was fortunate enough to see Segovia perform at the very end of his career some 40-years ago and he was a great proponent of his native music and Albeniz in particular. I very much appreciate your enthusiasm, clarity of thought and the sheer effort you put into these videos, all without the incessant self-promotion of some others! PS Qobuz are streaming three of your earlier albums including the Albeniz, Ravel and Bach for anyone who wants to hear them.
Thank you for your very appreciated words and understanding about the effort that goes into making each video, tutorial, and chart package. They are labors of love, and your acknowledgements mean a great deal to me. I'm glad the technical suggestions are helpful and that you can apply some of them to the pieces you are already playing. Some of my favorite Segovia recordings are those from his later years. How fortunate that you got to hear him live! 🎉Speaking of recordings, thank you for your support in mentioning here that Qobuz is streaming my CDs of Ravel, the Bach Goldberg Variations, and the complete Iberia of Albéniz. 💕 @@paulbennett274
Hello Sergio, no, I do not have a tutorial of the beautiful Bach-Lipatti Pastorale in F organ transcription. I especially like the opening Prelude movement with the gorgeous dissonances and overtone-like harmonies. Best wishes to you.
Hello J.C. Rogers, thank you for your request for this exquisite Brahms Waltz in Ab Major. I love this piece and have added it to my list of requests that I would like to do in the future. Best wishes to you. 🎵

Hello Oiva, thank you for your nice comment. You are welcome, it is my pleasure! 🎵
Dear Sally, do you by any chance have made a tutorial of the wonderful Bach-Lipatti Pastorale in F? Best regards.
Hello Sergio, no, I do not have a tutorial of the beautiful Bach-Lipatti Pastorale in F organ transcription. I especially like the opening Prelude movement with the gorgeous dissonances and overtone-like harmonies. Best wishes to you.
It's really wonderful. Thanks for the reply. Best wishes!
