@Steve Price Certainly someone can do whatever they want with the musical material, and I completely agree with Ariel's rules, pure common sense. But on the other hand I say to myself,…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
@Dale Needles That would have been great to have you join the Study Group for Brouwer's studies, but in any case these Carlevaro's are very interesting! I definitely have to post a few of them soon,…
