Brouwer Tres Apuntes (menos uno) II and I - closer
I have an almost decent recording of the first 2 of Tres Apuntes, however I have reversed their order because I felt it would be better to conclude with the more dramatic first one.
I am having my typical difficulty unmaking a decent recording. Trying to record both pieces just further compounds the difficulties. I feel both are close but each has a couple of glaring stumbles at points that I really like.
I might be able to try one more time but my wife and I leave for Pittsburgh and Buffalo on Saturday morning so I don't k now if I will actually try.

Following the last few emotional weeks since my father's death, I needed motivation and inspiration to slowly get back to the guitar... so yesterday, Master Vedral published a page of beautiful music that simply gave me the boost... I'm sorry if the choice is not a perfect fit for this challenge but I hope you'll enjoy it somehow.
