OMG what´s that!!!
-
all arpeggio section in 3rd movement of "La Catedral" by Barrios. Is not that difficult, but it has a lot of barres. At the end of that section, my left hand is burning!
-
RENATO I disagree with you saying "is not that difficult". I played several Barrios pieces in the April challenge (none as difficult as La Catedral 3rd movement) and my left hand has never been so sore. The barres and the stretches were all killer. Barrios must have had huge, strong hands!
-
RENATO that's indeed one of the main challenge with Barrios music
-
Eric Phillips I was hoping you would play more of Barrios in the current challenge
-
RENATO I'll join you guys, Renato and Blaise... I'll work in the La Catedral too. Maybe we can divide the work, to be easier to do...
Regards, and good work! -
Blaise Laflamme I may yet do so. I left Pais de Abanico before bringing it up to where I'd like it to be.

I think I recognize that score you posted above, Martin . Is it from Sor Op 60 No 1?
I've been looking at some of the etudes in Coste's Op 38. I really like number 6. Most of it is fairly straightforward, except for this cadenza below.

Martin it looks harder to read than to play

my eyes! what is this
-
Villa-Lobos Etude #2. The second half continually kicks my butt.
-
Eric Uff yeah, the second page is terrible!
-
-
This week, Villa-Lobos Etude 1. Particularly minimizing fret noise during the descending diminished section.
-
mikowitz try inclining slightly your left hand to the left at the moment of sliding the fingers. Like dragging the left hand in each change of position. Or completely raising the fingers in each change. That worked for me.
-
RENATO mikowitz Raising the 2nd and 3rd finger is what I do!

I'm working in the La Catedral Coda. I have studied this piece several years ago, but some parts were never finalized. The Coda is the worst, for me. I started studying the eighth at 90 bpm (almost sleeping...).
-
I am working hardly on Preludio BWV998 Bach. I have begun on 22 March , I have read and memorize 3/4 of the work...it is hard to reach: ...the continuos flow...without thinking "what comes next?", the dancing movement of the left hand of course without disturbing noises and the correct length of the basses (RH also engaged), the small rubatos and dynamics according to the cadences....sooo this is my challenge of the last and future months!!!! this keeps me a little aside of the nice challenges ...but I will return!!!
-
For me (at my level) it's the second part of the Villa-Lobos prelude #2. I even watched the small video of Denis Azabagic explaining how to do it, but I can't do it correctly. Also, for a couple of days I'm working around the Prelude in C minor by Barrios. There are many hard barres in that piece, but the hardest part if the measure 23.
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
