I definitely need to fine-tune the dynamics on that piece, and make it sound less mechanical. I'll get going on #11 as well. Thanks for the feedback!

It's quite clear and the notes are all there. When I play this, I begin pp and build to a p by measure 2,keep steady till measure 3, build to mp in measure 4 and mf in measure 5. Then the dynamics reverse for the next 5 measures. Most of the piece is grouped in 5-measure phrases so this pattern of dynamics works if you repeat it--as long as it doesn't sound too mechanical. Good luck with the rest; Sor is a treasure. I'd recomment Op.6 # 11. It sounds pretty good. It’s quite clear and the notes are all there.

It's moving away from Earth and tilting its rings progressively edge-on for the next few years, so the views now are the best they'll be for a decade or so. Keep an eye out for its moons next time; just dots, but easy to overlook in the scenery.<br/><br/>Jupiter is the other big catch. It's twice the size of Saturn, and you'll be able to make out cloud bands easily.<br/><br/>That's some fine Sor there, and harder than I thought after hearing it. Tempo and rhythm are the big challenges after finding all the notes, and you hit both right on. I'll be posting an mp3 of my applause later. Saturn’s an enthralling sight.
