Re: Week 2: Technique Tango!
@joosje Thanks. It is a nice study and is part of my daily routine. It really helps in building the muscle memory needed to execute clean shifts (traslados por salto).

@Wai That is sounding great. I am very impressed with the progress you have made with these Microestudios. My one little suggestion is to try to eliminate the left hand squeaks.…

Re: 4 Pieces I am Taking to The GFA Conference in NYC ( for private lessons I am taking there).
@Jack Stewart Excellent work on this. I agree it is very close. There are some phrases that flow so smoothly with your wonderful ornaments. Also, your nail-less tone is much improved and is sounding…

Re: 4 Pieces I am Taking to The GFA Conference in NYC ( for private lessons I am taking there).
Bravo! Jack, these are sounding excellent. The Courant is by far the best that I have heard you play it. And the Cancion y Danza are also sounding really good.…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
@David Krupka Thanks David. This piece was hidden away for many years. Carlevaro did record it in 1965, around the time he composed it, and included it in his Vincente Vallegos album,…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
"Milonga Oriental" is another example of Carlevaro's compositional style in which he combines so masterfully the folkloric rhythm of the milonga with modern tonality.…

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@Wai Thanks. The instrument that you saw in the background is a Setar. Not to be confused with a sitar, the setar is an Persian string instrument. I took some lessons a few years ago and pulled it…

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@don Thanks. Yes, it does take some adjustment in your listening to appreciate his use of dissonance. I also agree that there are some similarities between Carlevaro and Brouwer.…

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@Barney Thanks. Yes, a nice simple piece but fun to play. Check out my latest post, Milonga Oriental, which is a bit more challenging both in its rhythm and harmonic dissonance.

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@don Thanks. I think that Carlevaro used a pseudonym, first as joke (he had a great sense of humor) and second, he did not want to be known as a folklorist.
