First recording

My first recordings of harp-playing!

Andiam, Mio Tesoro (anonymous), an Italian song from the 16th century - Just a few mistakes. :)

Tambourin by Louis Claude Daquin (1694-1772) - Still working on those "hard fast" parts. Sometimes I hit them on the first try, but not during this recording! I'm also playing this about 24 beats too slowly.
