@Ernesto Very nice, Ernesto. You have the A section mastered and are so close with the other sections. I look forward to hearing it again next week.

@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,…

@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.

@don Unfortunately I do not know of any recording of Carlevaro playing Prelude 5, although he did include in many programs in the 1980s.

@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 First to say, Maestro Carlevaro was not a big fan of glissandos and used them sparingly. In fact, in HVL Prelude 5, he does not use glissando in the B Section.…

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…

@Steve Pederson Nicely done, Steve. I also like the Tao te Ching reference about getting out of your own way and just being in the flow. Never, tried the blind fold method, but like the approach.

Here is HVL Prelude #4. I have not played this Prelude for many years, so it was fun to relearn it. This Prelude is not too difficult, the challenge being playing the B section arpeggios smoothly and…
