Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil
@Eric Phillips Mazurka is sounding very nice, and it does feel like you are making it your own. The Gavotta, which I agree is more difficult, is also coming along. Great work!

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro!

Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla!
@Jack Stewart Sounding really good. It just is getting better...Love the rhythmic and harmonic dissonance. As Lars mentioned, this typical Brouwer. I also hear echos of de Falla. Bravo!
