Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Beautiful, Stefanie! I love this soft touch in the basses, they give an intimist air to the piece. Thank you for playing!
-
Moyses Lopes thank you;-) this guitar allows only soft touch in the basses- its a vulcan that I dont reign....Roemmich layed the strings extra down for me because of my lefthandproblems...so I have to play very carefully to avoid buzzing...............
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz These are nicely played, Stephanie. They have a Brazilian jazz feel that you bring out very well. Great job.
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Very beautiful, Stefanie.

Blaise Laflamme Eric Phillips Moyses Lopes Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Jack Stewart Wai joosje As we come to the end of this challenge week, I want to thank everyone for your kind words of support. It was wonderful to be able to share with you all some of the Estudios of Abel Carlevaro. It was also great to hear the music of the great Agustin Barrios, Leo Brouwer and the those excellent Brazilian pieces. What a great sample of Latin American music. Thank you all. Next week, I plan to continue my journey through Carlevaro's repertoire with some additional examples of Carlevaro's music. Saludos y hasta la semana próxima.
