Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Barney Yes, definitely a piece worth checking out. It is on my list to relearn next year. What is nice about learning it, is that all the variations are quite short,…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Barney Well played as usual, Barney, and with your beautiful tone. Have you ever worked on Ponce's Folias Theme and Variations? That is my favorite piece by Ponce and one that Carlevaro played a lot.…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Eric Phillips Eric, if you can play without squeaks in a slow tempo, I am convinced you can do it when you speed up. In my opinion, it is only a matter of developing the muscle memory which takes…

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @Eric Phillips This is coming along very well. Still feel there is a little tension in your left hand particularly in the B section. However, when you repeat the A section the tension disappears and…

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @Calin Lupa Excellent, Calin. I think you are very close, and I like the echo effect by repeating the arpeggio piano. Here is what Carlevaro who studied with Villa-Lobos wrote about this Etude,…

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @Jack Stewart Great progress with this Etude. It is such a great one and you are very close. Another week should do the trick. I hope those Carlevaro fingerings were helpful.

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @don Unfortunately I do not know of any recording of Carlevaro playing Prelude 5, although he did include in many programs in the 1980s.

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @Barney Excellent, Barney. As always your beautiful tone shines throughout along with your musicality. And while I am not a huge fan of the glissandos in the B section, you play them very well. Bravo.…

Re: Week 3: "Composer's Corner: Exploring Villa-Lobos" @don Nice progress, Don. The A section is sounding really good. I agree that there are too many left hand squeaks in the B section. Try to employ some of Carlevaro's left hand technique by using the…
