Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla!
@Eric Phillips Sounding really nice. So glad you are introducing Anido's music to the Tonebase community. Also, I think you connect very well with her music. Bravo.

Re: Week 2: From Barrios to Brouwer!
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, it is one of those melodic gems that Carlevaro wrote in his early years, usually for his students.

Re: Week 2: From Barrios to Brouwer!
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It is a lovely little piece, and while Carlevaro is best known for his modern use of dissonance, he wrote quite a few of these melodic gems.…

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Very nice. This is sounding good. The second section needs a little work and as you wrote your harmonics, but overall you are making excellent progress with this beautiful piece.…

Re: Week 2: From Barrios to Brouwer!
@Eric Phillips Very beautiful and a lovely piece, reminds me a little Miguel Llobet's music. Anido was one of Llobet's disciples. Also, I just got back in town and plan to join the challenge later…

Re: LAST WEEK: Over the Horizon!
@joosje A very beauriful piece and as Barney indicated not often performed. Definitely has a Peruvian sound from Barrios' indio period, reminiscent of El Condor Pasa.…

Re: LAST WEEK: Over the Horizon!
@joosje Thanks, Joosje. It is a beautiful piece and I really enjoyed studying it these past few weeks. This was a favorite of Carlevaro's which he played in concert many times.…

Re: LAST WEEK: Over the Horizon!
@Barney Thanks Barney, and good point about my playing close to the bridge, definitely a tendency of mine both out of habit and taste. I will definitely explore playing more over the sound hole as…

@Eric Phillips Excellent, Eric. Definitely agree with Barney that your nail-less sound is coming along nicely, maybe the best yet of your nail-less postings.

Re: Week 5: Onward and Upward!
@Eric Phillips The Gol-e-Gadome sounds great without nails, not so sure about the Brouwer Etude. I think it needs more color variations which seems hard to do without nails.

Re: Week 5: Onward and Upward!
@Jack Stewart These are coming along very nicely. They both grow on you the more you listen to them, the beauty of Ravel's impressionistic tonal pallet and the haunting and dark dissonance of…

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections
@Jack Stewart I love the harmonic dissonance of this piece. Simple but complex, lyrical and dissonant. Nicely played and no obvious sign of your injured finger.

@Eric Phillips I agree your nail sound is nicer but you are early in this journey so I am sure your nailess sound will only get better and already sounds pretty good.

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections
@Jack Stewart @Spare Machine @Eric Phillips Thanks for the comments. This is definitely a challenging Estudio, in a way the most difficult of the three Estudios of Carlevaro's that I have worked on.…
