Re: Week 1 Assignment!
I had to dig a bit to find a piece that (1) I wanted to learn and (2) I haven't heard before...so, I'm starting a miniature by Fikret Amirov. Will post score, notes and maybe a starter video soon!

Hi Jarred! I'm excited to delve into Schumann for this TWI. The assignment looks slightly scary to me--I've never split up anything into SATB. I will give it a go nonetheless!…
