Here's a not to great recording of me playing Tarrega's Capricho Arabe.
I play this piece at a recital, and that's when the recording was made.
My own criticisms:
-The fast runs in the beginning (not the slurs) are incosistant in tone quality
-Sometimes during the fast slur sections, my head gets ahead of itself and starts the shifts before the fingers are done actually making sounds
-The shift to F major is shakey, but not bad. Just needs to be a bit faster
-My barre during the F major section is shakey, and sometimes bass notes don't come out as clear as i'd like
-Ornamention is inconsistant in the major key area sections sections, I need to practice more without it and then add it in.
ALL THAT SAID, I was very nervous, and considering my previous cases of nerves during recitals, this one was not bad. My fingers didn't shake uncontrollably, and I was in command of my movements moreso than before. I also played most of Bach's third cello suite, but the MP3 is the entire suite, and i'd rather not post a 19 minute MP3 here, i'll try to split it and then post it. I played my set from memory.
Have at it!
