Hi, this is me Rodrigo Paiva and my father Cleivan Paiva playing his Marcha Rancho / Frevo composition called Pôr do Sol. Jan, 2022.

Rodrigo Paiva That's really amazing, Rodrigo. I have always admired people that can improvise so fluidly. Thanks for sharing this.
-
Rodrigo Paiva Great, guys! You're playing like one! Are you from Pernambuco? Regards!

Rodrigo Paiva great composition and duo! :)

This is a work in progress. Is an arrangement I'm working on for months, and now I think I'm near. It's a well-known piece of Piazzolla, Oblivion.
-
Moyses Lopes WOW!!! Just when I think your music couldn't get any more impressive, you outdo yourself again. What a masterful arrangement and beautiful performance. I am just blown away, Moyses!
-
Moyses Lopes bravo Moyses! you're not just playing well, you're doing great at arranging
-
Moyses Lopes Oh, that goes directly to my heart, I love it so so much. You are so gifted!!!aaaaah OBLIVION!!! So wonderful. I like the Arrangement, I hope someday can play this peace in such a good arrangement. And so wonderful yor playing.
-
Eric Phillips Me too!!!
-
Moyses Lopes I dont like it, I LOVE it!
-
Moyses Lopes beautiful playing, Moyses. It’s a very good arrangement. But it’s the tone, phrasing and timing that do it.
-
Eric Phillips , Blaise Laflamme , Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz and joosje I have no words to thank all of your kindness. I'm really happy with your messages, thank you!
-
Moyses Lopes Very nicely played and a nice arrangement, Bravo!
-
Moyses Lopes yesterdaynight my poor husband had to come upstairs to watch your wonderful video and listen to your playing, I could not sleep, had to show him your Oblivion. I think you really represented Oblivion, which is not easy on guitar. I practise a very simple arrangement of Oblivion, that does not represent the peace for me, but thats the level I am now...there exists an arrangement of Nadja Kassinkkaja thet is also touching, but yours is really Oblivion to me!
-
Dale Needles Thank you!
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Thank you! You're very kind! I need to write down the arrangement, but as soon as I have done I can send you the score if you want.
-
Moyses Lopes You should write it down because life can make you forget what you thought or worked out sometimes. That would ne such an honor if I was allowed to play or to study it!!!!I would love to try that, but I dont play that level, but sometimes something lifts us up....maybe that could be a reason to develop---yesss I want!!!!

Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz What a lovely melody, Stephanie! I also like the chromatic bass line at the end.
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz You played so nice! The melody was so clear, detached from the accompaniment. Brava!
-
Moyses Lopes I strongly agree with your comments! :)
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Very nice, Stefanie.
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Very Beautiful!
-
Moyses Lopes thank you! I had to lay it away over 2 years and yesterday I had a very frustrating lesson with Roman Viazovskyj, I played my peaces, I work on and he asked me to play them blind....he found it to technical, not lyrical, but he is so unbelievable-how could I play good for him?- he played my peaces for me how he would play it in my place- not his own interpretation- and I went home and made the video, just pumped up with his sensibility- thats a kind of magic that happens sometimes. The tragic is, I try it the day after and the spirit is hidden, not to find anymore- how often that happens to me- I have to work on and be thankful for the moment

Jack Stewart Thank you!
