Here is another milonga by Abel Carlevaro. This one was written sometime in the 1960s but was published in the 1990s when Carlevaro rediscovered his manuscript, made some revisions to it and then dedicated it to his wife, Vani. It is written in the classic A-B-A form in which the B section, the most challenging, expands on the main theme. The rhythm is derived from the classic milonga dance of the Rio de la Plata region. It should be noted that the complete name of Uruguay is the República Oriental del Uruguay which literally means the republic east of the Uruguayan river, thus the name Milonga Oriental.

Brouwer Tres Apuntes 1 Update
I believe this update is better, there are fewer mistakes and the ones that do exist seem to be less noticeable. I feel I still need to spend a lot more time trying to get control of dynamics and phrasing and technique. I doubt I will make another update of this piece for this challenge - this is a much longer project.
