I decided to play through one of the most beautiful pieces written by Torroba (and in general), the sacred second movement of his Sonatina
I played this for my entrance exam for studying with my Prof. Joaquin Clerch and probably haven't played it since (that's why is everything is quite a bit too slow). Time passes so quickly (it's more than 10 years), but the fingers somehow never forget! I went for some impressionistic campanella style fingerings that feel quite special.
There are some wonky bits, bit I think I captured the general feeling for that piece. Some worked better than before, especially around 1:55, and it's probably the only time I use a barred middle finger in 2:03!
And that jazzy feeling in 2:55, ah, I can't get over the beauty of this piece. The whole Sonatina is a gem, but the second movement belongs into my personal hall of fame
And I can't believe I nailed these last artifical harmonics, haha!
(and there's a small bonus peak into the third movement in the end)
