Hello Martin,
That was a great class on Garcia de Leon's studies. Like you, I had never even heard of him until he began to be featured here in Tonebase. What great pieces! Like you say, they are a great complement to Brouwer's Estudios Sencillos. One thing that I particularly like about them is the titles and dedications he gives to each one, which are not only interesting, but useful for interpretation and imagery while playing.
I hope you don't mind, but I am submitting videos I made of the first three studies which you taught. I guess I'm missing not having the Sergio Assad challenge anymore to keep me busy! I don't expect any feedback, but I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying them and how much I appreciate all the help you gave me through your presentation.
