Re: WEEK 3: Dóbry wétscher (Good Evening)!
@Martin I was wondering how you're using finger 3 in the last chord of mesure 12 since it seems to still be an A flat, so I suspect you're just using 1 from the barré,…

Re: WEEK 2: Dóbry den’ (Good Day)!
@Martin for the harmonics passage I opted for finger 3 since 4 is already used for the last note before, then you can lift 3 while you're playing 4, then play the harmonics,…

@Brett Gilbert thanks Brett... you're right there's a step but somehow it's kind of easier than #3 to make it interesting. I hope to listen to your version of one or both 3 and 4! Well,…

@Emma In bar 7 I play the A on third beat with 3 and then F# with 4, it gives me a better shape for the patterns and articulations, as bar 7 and 8 are based on the same idea.

@Emma this study is definitely hard to play at the suggested tempo, fingers don't follow up your mind as it speeds up. I agree with #4 and #5, two beautiful studies!

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
@Emma thank you Emma, I"m glad you liked it... the tempo is probably a bit slow, at a higher tempo it flows a bit better IMHO, but that works enough to be listenable 😂!
