@Blaise Laflamme Thank you, Blaise. If I remember correctly, the solo version was also arranged by Sergio Assad himself. It's a sad tune, but really beautiful.

@joosje Thanks, Joosje. I found that when playing a piece that slow, my "rubato" mode would turn on automatically and I would tend to rush in some places, it's really hard to keep it even. 🙈

@Dale Needles Thank you, Dale. This Estudio has a strong orchestral character, I think arranging them together into a mini-suite is really a great idea.
