Great interpretation... this waltz is a happy and sadness feeling at the same time, the passion of love in a single dance. Let the guitar sing your song from your heart. Greetings from Venezuela. Bravo.

[@RSorbyGuitars]

Learnt this the other day! Great piece and well played! Those 4 notes at 1:26 etc are hard to get out without slurring aren't they!!

[@oliviajameschiang]

+RSorbyGuitars Yes, indeed.

nice!

Alirio Diaz (when he had young fingers) showed us the right way to interprete this song. This amazing venezuelian guitarist, who knew very well Antonio Lauro, was destinated to play this venezuelian waltz with the full understanding of the composer. Alirio Diaz was Andre Segovia's main assistant teacher. Please Olivia, you're very gifted. Don't lose time. Listen what great job he does on this song, singing like a south américan colourful bird.

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

I wonder the price this guitar sold for ?

[@jovanpesec]

Großartig! Ein Vergnügen zuzuhören!

[@terenceevans4770]

your playing is amazing and you are so talented please don't take offence it's the weight of your right hand fingers that makes it so hard to produce a nice warm sound if it was a person with your skills but broader finger lobes combined with nail the smallman would sound richer please don't take this as an hate comment it's just something I've noticed over many years it's such a simple thing and all that strikes the string after all is the finger and I did hear a few beautiful warm rest strokes it's combing that with volume that volume still your such a virtuoso with amazing talent

I love Olivia but I wish she would play a little closer to the sound hole most of the time instead of closer to the bridge. That said, maybe it’s a personal preference but I don’t care too much for a bright sound. Exceptional guitarist either way. That is not the most wonderful Smallman I ever heard. The piece is so fantastic, what a beautiful waltz!

[@barryhambly7711]

What horrible sounding guitars Smallman's are loud yes but notes are hard and jump out no sweetness

[@nancynichols8659]

nonsense!this is beautiful!

[@lawrencetendler2342]

I agree .
