WEEK TWO Updates: Main Thread - Where the magic continues!
Alright, welcome to WEEK TWO of the Main Thread for this challenge! 
Why is this thread necessary?
Well, with the initial main thread turning into a 500-post behemoth (
), it became hard to navigate.
This comes at the very end of Week 2. Therefore, very soon, I'll be making a different thread for Week 3! We're almost there, folks, just two more days to go until Week 3! 
But Mircea - I hear you say - can we still post in the old thread?
Yes, of course! Feel free to reply to others in the old thread to your heart's content. Just make sure you post any new updates (whether text or video) in this thread instead.
"Oh no, I didn't see this thread, so I posted a new update in the old thread!"
No problem at all! Just tag me (@Mircea) and I'll move your post These admin powers I got here are actually pretty cool! It turns out I can move individual replies between threads.

Sample daily update:
- Etude you worked on: No. 1
- One thing you found easy: The polyphony between bass and treble flowed very naturally, I had an easy time playing each line like it belonged to its own voice.
- One thing you found difficult: I had a hard time creating enough variety throughout the repeated measures.
Feel free to make these updates as short or long as you wish!

study I worked on: no 16.
what was easy: nothing really easy, but a truly musical piece, doesnt feel like a study, which makes it a pleasure to work on
challenging: to bring out the contrast of the staccato, legato effects. Sor is always very precise. I have to work on it a bit more. Looking forward to your recordings and comments.
Character of 18th century mazurka like dance rythm, with accent on 2nd beat. I have to be more familiar with the piece. Must give it a 2nd try later.

Etude I worked on: No 17
What was easy: Not too fast, and it's so pretty that it's a joy to practice.
What was difficult: In general, the left hand fingering has to be worked out carefully to keep the melody beautiful and legato. Also, in certain measures, there are so many options for fingering that settling on one is difficult. Very specifically, I always struggle with having to lift the left-hand pinky up to the base strings, landing it cleanly on the tip, keeping other strings ringing.
