You’re welcome!Here's a funny bit—25 year-old me thought he knew better than follow Julian Bream's original fingerings for this passage. 39 year-old me recognizes his past immaturity and has been busy re-learning this section with the indicated fingerings—they're just *better*

I've been re-learning Hill Runes by Peter Maxwell Davies, a solo guitar piece I performed on my second graduate recital in 2009. It's been a total trip. Part of me is flummoxed I was *ever* able to play the piece; then, suddenly, something just *clicks* and my hands remember the painstaking choreography we rehearsed endless times nearly fourteen years ago. It's an incredible feeling, akin to mind-melding with a past self. I've changed much in the intervening time, and yet, there I am.

I'm an Italian-born guitarist (classical, experimental, once-upon-a-time fingerstyle) and musicologist living and #teaching in the SF Bay Area—I'm an adjunct prof/lecturer at USFCA and UCSC.
