Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
I have two questions for everybody about Estudio n°2: 1) Do you keep the "p m i" right hand fingerings that Brouwer wrote or do you switch to "i m a" as @Blaise Laflamme does in his version?…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Steve Price @Blaise Laflamme also for me, #2 is taugh... mostly on account of the legato and the balance of the voices.
