Thanks for the advice and links. Boy, do I have a long way to go! Beautiful piece!

[@jacquietouchie9800]

It’s such a gorgeous piece!

[@sherjde6448]

Thanks Josh! I sort of feel like you posted this for me (even though I'm sure you didn't!) But thanks! It will be very helpful as we work through the piece.

Beautiful, and I can’t even fathom! I should have started when I was much younger so I’m ever going to get anywhere near any of this (even tho i do have a great teacher😉)!

[@ceciliaandrade7405]

All though do you have a harp?

[@ceciliaandrade7405]

16:37 was my favorite part!

[@xaviercuevas6142]

Wonderfull Josh. But in the final arpeggio parts you make a note wrong. When starts de last section there is pedals (mi natural-si natural), the next bar the chord is with dob (si natural). Thankyou

I'm still puzzling over bar 2 of the arpeggios, and trying to look at the pedals that are marked in the original score - in the first bar, there is fix Do#, and then in brackets, Si-natural, with no further markings in the second bar, so perhaps then it is supposed to be a C-flat in that bar played as B-natural, as otherwise there would be no need for the printed Si-natural marking? Either that pedal marking is wrong, or there is a flat-sign missing in the second bar? The fact that in the eight bar of the arpeggios, there is a specific Do-natural marking might suggest that is has been sharp all the way through (as suggested by the fix Do# marking at the start), rather than back and forth, as it would have to be if Bar 2 was really meant to be C-naturals. So I am sort of coming around to the idea that perhaps Bar 2 is missing the flat signs for the C, rather than the pedal markings being wrong - what do you think? I am not 100% but I think that is what Silke Aichorn does in her video, as it sounds different at that point, and I think when she has written the chords out, she has a B-natural at that point. Between the French markings in the score, and her video in German, and the English note names that I am used to, it can be hard to decipher.

Hey Josh Layne how many years have you been working on a harp?
