Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Number 5 - Like I mentioned to Marc, I think this one is deceptively simple. The first chord shapes are very common, but then they get more challenging and adding the open strings and complex rhythm…

@Blaise Laflamme I was gonna say it's for the whammy bar, but sadly my guitar doesn't have one, lol.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc AdlerNice, Mark. That's what I'm working on now, too. I think this one is deceptively simple. It gives you familiar chord shapes and then throws these oddball shapes at you that you have to…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thanks, Nijwm. I actually feel pretty good about mm9 and up, but mm8 is what gets me. It takes a pretty dramatic hand position change, and it's very hard for me to play cleanly.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
I've been working on III since this was announced, since it's so much fun. I need to balance the voices better, but I'm happy with where it's at. The breakthrough for me was treating it like a scalar…

@Jane Anderson Really nice, Jane. I especially like the difference in feel between the A and B sections. It makes it very dramatic. Excellent work.

@George Aubrey Thank you very much. These are the main ones I'm aware of, but I figure if they caught these, they probably fixed more. II measures 8-9: Missing barline.…

@Blaise Laflamme Lol, my poor wife could tell you how I'm not very observant. I really like it and have already updated my score.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme Are you using the old Eschig edition? I've considered buying the Zigante edition, but since it still says Eschig, I'm not sure if things like this and the incorrect bass notes in X…

@Ariel Elijovich I didn't notice Blaise using i m a, but I really like it. Having the thumb free to plant helps my stability, plus I think it lets me balance the voices better.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Honestly, you came across as confident in the video, and there weren't any of the usual mannerisms and tics that show up when someone is really nervous. Again, nice job.

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Very nice, Nijwm. Really good dynamics. I've lost files during one step or another in the editing workflow so I know what you mean, lol.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. Definitely #2. All the open space and the trying to release notes quietly made this one much more challenging for me. Normally, when I play,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Right and left hand muting is not an area I'm strong in, so I'm using #1 as a chance to work on that and try to keep the melody notes to their given values.…

Re: hairpin symbol represents rubato not dynamics
@António Fernandes I'm definitely no expert, but in the example you gave, I'd say the hairpins are only for dynamics, to create rising and falling waves of sound.…

Re: hairpin symbol represents rubato not dynamics
This is very interesting. I wonder how much of it comes from the natural tendency to slow down as a passage gets quieter and speed up when it gets louder.…

@Blaise Laflamme @Ariel Elijovich I don't have the best ear to tell, but are you keeping the accompaniment the same while applying the dynamics to the melody only,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
For #1, I'm curious about interpreting the dynamics? Should they be applied to the melody and accompaniment or just the melody, keeping the accompanying notes at the same level throughout the piece?
