This is one of my favorites in the book. Just beautiful counterpoint. It forces you to remember where your hands were to dampen. The rest of the etudes in the book are (or will be soon) somewhere on this site or on my YouTube channel.
This week's assignment is to work on a piece with two choruses of solo with lines only.

P.S don't ask me why I danced/wiggled/shook in the end, I think finals drove me crazy or Out to lunch did that to me. (before this recording, I was listening to that)
P.PS My shirt matched the song!
Nasty Virus Blues - a tribute to all of my musician friends out there. Please keep on playing and sharing your music. I’ve been really enjoying all of the beautiful posts and clips.
“Spring Is Here” - finally, some nice weather in New England. Sorry for the sound, I did a down and dirty clip on the IPad.
#5 from David Friedman's book. The other ones I've done so far are on my YouTube channel and posted here!
I'm recording all the Friedman Etudes, so this is #16. The other ones are on my YouTube channel.
I'm learning and recording all of the Friedman Etudes -- so here's 19! I quite like this one. To see the others, just go to my YouTube channel.
"Alice In Wonderland" - The classic song that I listened to so many times from the great Bill Evans recording Live at the Village Vanguard. I remember Gary talking to me in the lessons way back about Bill and his various recordings. He was a big fan and so was I. Great music is timeless. :)
