I love that arrangement of Granada. And I’m enjoying your “Cinema Paradiso”, Stan. Thanks for doing that one.
Jerusha, Reinhardt Elster arranged a bunch of popular Latin music, all of it for either lever or pedal harp. The lever notation is a little antiquated, but it all works just fine:

He also did Frenesi, Perfidia, Tico-Tico, and maybe more, but those are all I can remember off the top of my head.
Here you go, Carl:

If your feet are suitable, you can use this technique and little enharmonic chord spelling in the Apotheosis from Swan Lake, also, and the pedaling becomes really easy.
But personally, my feet just aren’t large enough for me to be able to comfortably do this on a normal concert grand pedal box (haven’t tried it on an 85P–maybe I could do it there), and I find it generally easier to pedal with moderate high heels, which puts this technique totally out of bounds. Easy for guys, with their larger feet and flat shoes, though.
Is that the one Stephanie Curcio used to sell? If so, you just need a replacement handtruck wheel (you may be able to buy just a tire, but these days you may have to buy a whole wheel).
Take a wheel off and go to the Orange store or the Blue store and they should be able to help you out.
He told me he has to take them to a NASCAR facility to get them properly baked, Karen. That’s a lot of the cost.
I doubt that, Jennifer. He seems to be very much hands-on with this, although some parts of production must be done in specialized facilities.
I wouldn’t say I like it better with the lute, just that I think that’s the best recording of the lute version that I’ve heard.
Yes, I’m inclined to agree, Sherry. A friend of mine always says, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re probably right.”
There is a harp arrangement of Tumbalalaika. Maybe by Phyllis Schlomovitz? It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it seems to me it looked like her typesetting, in which case it might be worth checking for it in her beginner’s harp book.
My neighbor has a 2006 PT Cruiser, and with the older models it was a complete non-starter as a harp car. It was way, way too short and the seats didn’t fold in a harp-friendly way.
The current version looks like you could maybe base load it by folding down the front passenger’s seat, which I guess might be okay if you don’t move the harp much and are strong or have help available.
I would point out, though, that it still has pretty poor gas mileage for a car its size (24 highway for the 2010). If you’re willing to go to that much trouble to get a harp in a car you can do substantially better on mileage with other cars, or find more pedal-harp friendly vehicles with similar mileage.
