Re: Week 2: From Barrios to Brouwer!
@Jack Stewart That's rock star vibes, especially the beginning section. I was transfixed on your left hand speed, control and dexterity. You look really comfortable and immersed in this piece. Bravo.

Re: Week 2: From Barrios to Brouwer!
@Jack Stewart Thank you Jack. Your advice on using harmonics as the connecting phrase between the A section and B section is very pertinent and valuable. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
