Re: LAGRIMA Kevin's Practice Diary @Kevin Mudd Some pieces in the repertoire are a bit more arpeggio-based, such as Villa-Lobos' Etude 1 or Brouwer's Estudio Sencillo 6. I'd be hard pressed to find a melody in either of those.

Re: 20 Sor Studies (Segovia) Studies 5 and 6 (December 20, 2021) These two studies are, of course, standards of the repertoire, and I have worked on both before. Playing them today is a bit like visiting old friends.

Re: LAGRIMA Kevin's Practice Diary @Kevin Mudd Yes, if it’s a piece with a melody (which Lagrima is) it’s always a good idea to play the melody alone. Everything else is secondary to the melody. Keep up the good work!
