20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro

After learning 7 Ejercicios Previos, it's time to dive into the Microestudios. It will be a long journey and I hope that I could finish all 20 studies and record them all here. Wish me luck.

Yeah! After following the instruction of Phil Goldenberg's 3min practice method, I could finally play the No.5 reasonably steady. I will dive into the Microestuios next! 🧜‍♂️

@Eric Phillips Well played, Eric. I could really hear the improvement. You played it 3 times in your video, and I like the 2nd one better because the gap between the transition was almost inaudible…

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time ⏲
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the advice, Blaise. Yes, I need to rethink the movement of the whole arm, I was trying different ways to play these few bars, and started feeling loose in my left hand.💪

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time ⏲
@Jack Stewart Thanks for the comment, Jack. Yes, this one is pretty hard, especially if you want to keep the melody legato, and Abel Carlevaro called it preliminary exercises...😵

Re: 7 Ejercicios Previos - Abel Carlevaro
No. 6 started to sound like a real tune, really like this one, and no.7. The combination of basses and melodies in both pieces is very interesting and unique.

Re: 7 Ejercicios Previos - Abel Carlevaro
Ejercicios Previos no. 1-4 are very similar, no. 1-3 focused on the thumb movement, and no.4 combined both bass and melody movement.
