Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
A second take of etude no. 16. I listened to your wise comments, and now take it more intuitively, not too much accentuation of details. Also a bit faster. I think this is a better tempo.…

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
This etude no. 12 is a nice one to practice on crescendo-decrescendo. And it has a charming chord progression. This is a first reading. I’m not sure about the tempo.…
