(many thanks to @paulobassman for mastering and re-mixing my original post, it sounds much richer now :-) )
Ballad is the second movement of this outstanding suite written for the classical guitar by Jean Sevriens. It seamlessly combines classical elements with Jazz harmonies.
It is one of my top five favorite compositions for the guitar and, although not trivial, it is very rewarding to play as the chords and melodies magically fall into place.
There is another reason why this composition is one of my all-time favorites. Jean Sevriens wrote it for Tatyana Ryzhkova and gave it to her as a Christmas present in 2012 (I hope I remember this story correctly). If you promise to listen to my recording before you visit Tatyana's page then here is the link. IMHO she is one of the greatest classical guitarists alive.
When I was practicing this suite as part of my one and (so far) only solo concert I quickly saw its potential and complexity. And I decided to write Tatyana whether I could meet her and work with her for a day or so. That was in January 2017. In mid April I have received her replay saying that she was on a concert tour and that she had time to work with me. So I traveled to the north of Germany and worked with her for two days. She and her husband even invited me to stay at their house.
The work with Tatyana was totally inspiring and it showed me that there are many more dimensions to playing the classical guitar than I had ever realized.
During these two days I also introduced them to Bitcoin - there is that risk in spending time with me.
This was an unforgettable journey.

Getting inspired with your playing like always.
Subscribed your YouTube channel. Thanks for the nice guitar playing:-)
I have to say that your play managed to calm a bit my mind after today's dump in crypto. Moreover I think I will listen more guitar from now on. Guitar and piano were very often in my playlists but nowadays I have to admit that I have had probably too much trance and deep house music. I have never been a one music gender listener but somehow I blended quite a few and get a mix for every mood.
Thank you, this is great to hear.
Music is part of art, expressed by mouth, played by hand, and felt by heart, I am a lover of music and art, thank you for sharing, success is always for you @mariusfebruary
Really nice song. I will download the music to save my data.
Good to hear that you also introduced them to bitcoin. We has crypto hodlers have to do our bit to spread the word about cryptocurrency. Nice.
Woow.... Sooo cute and lovely look.. My dear friend...
My friend it was a pleasure to do it, it feels so good when you listen to somebody playing with love for music and your instrument like you do.
And your support to the community deserves this and more.
One love my friend.
Nice

Per fortuna esiste ancora youtube, perché da ieri provo e riprovo i link DSound e IPFS senza ottenere nulla! ;)
Mi sembra una strana coincidenza aver recentemente ascoltato e ammirato le performance di Tatyana Ryzhkova ed ora, grazie all'articolo sul blog di
@mindtrap, incontro la tua foto in compagnia di questa splendida creatura: BENTROVATO! ^_^
P.s.: Molto interessante anche Liberland: ne avevo letto superficialmente anni fa ed ora, grazie a questo incontro virtuale, avrò modo di approfondire. ;)
A quanto pare i video vengono cancellati da IPFS / D.Tube dopo un certo periodo di tempo - peccato. Sí, Liberland è un esperimento molto interessante e per me un'opportunità per vedere da vicino come viene creato un paese.
Personalmente sogno un mondo senza confini, senza denaro, senza guerre: pensi che Liberland possa essere uno dei passi utili a costruire un mondo dove tutti possiamo vivere in pace?
