@Jim King @Ron Thanks. This is indeed a challenging piece but a good workout for the left hand. I think it will come together over time. Today I started on Number 19 and am really enjoying it.…

Re: Week 4 - Return of the Finisher 🏆
@Blaise Laflamme It is an interesting study and more challenging than it looks. Definitely needs some more work to clean up those slurs.

Re: Week 4 - Return of the Finisher 🏆
Here is Abel Carlevaro's Microestudio No. 18. In addition to being a beautiful study, this study is great for working on slurs. I realized going through the study,…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Michael Shirk What a lovely piece and I really enjoyed your playing. You have a very beautiful tone that fits the piece very well, although I would agree that there may be a little too much reverb.…

@Jack Stewart What a joy to listen to this jazzy piece. I remember when you posted it last year. Loved it then and still do. Keep working on it and I look forward to hearing more.

@Steve Price Vals 2 is sounding good and you capture well the flow of the Venezuelan vals. I agree Vals 1 is more challenging but you are well on the way and I look forward to following your progress…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Jack Stewart Good progress on this challenging piece. The title April Day makes more sense when you think of April rain showers which definitely come to mind when listening to it.…

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
@joosje Thanks, Joosje. I really appreciate your comments. I agree that CARLEVARO'S music is very refined with how he integrates modern dissonance, innovative rhythms and polyphonic melodies.

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
@Steve Price It does look like there are only corrected versions for Vol I, II & III. My assumption is that VOL IV was published in 2000, not too long before Carlevaro passed in 2001,…

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
@David KrupkaTotally agree! Fortunately, Carlevaro recorded much of his compositions in his CD "Carlevaro plays Carlevaro."

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
@David Krupka Thanks, David. I definitely think that Carlevaro's music would have suited Bream, particularly following Bream's masterful recording of Villa-Lobos music.…

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I hope you will like the final three Microestudios, No. 19 is particularly intriguing and has some similarities to No. 17.

Re: Week 2 - Into the Dojo 🥋
Microestudio No. 17 by Abel Carlevaro. This is one of my favorites with its beautiful melody and classic Carlevaro bass line. I have three more to go, numbers 18, 19, & 20, but unfortunately for me,…
