Microestudios No.17
Taking a break from the monthly challenge this month, I decided to continue my journey of micro-studios. This time it is #17, a beautiful piece but a bit abstract for me to find the right sound of it. Although I didn't play it very well, I still hope to capture the mood of this piece. (I will definitely revisit it some other time)

Here is the second movement of Carlevaro's sonata, Cronomias, entitled Intermezzo. I have been working on it since mid-January and am pretty pleased with the progress to date, although it still needs to mature over time. Carlevaro definitely pushes the boundaries with his use of tonal language and color in this movement. Hope you all enjoy.

Microestudios No.18
Spent some time on this one, but still couldn't get the feel of it. This one focuses on slurs and horizontal movements, a busy left hand means easier to make mistakes. I listened to Carlevro's recording and found that his playing was full of subtle changes in tempo (in a musical way). When I practiced, I found it quite difficult to capture the mood of this piece (not to mention the technical difficulty). I will keep practicing and start learning No. 19, hoping to post a better version next time.
