Greetings

Are those already learned, or are you planning on learning them? Concerning the Moszkowski etude no2, I learned this and am still perfecting it. I am now bringing it up to the proper speed. Personally, I find it much easier then the first etude(Emajor), then again it focuses on different points. It is mainly for the left hand, utilizing scales as seen in the first page. For me, the top part of the second page is the most difficult, as the right hand endures some rather nasty stretches whilst the left hand makes jumps. The following is more scales. The last section is also tricky and hard to make it clear. If you want advice on specific questions feel free to ask me. I am also learning at the point nos1,3,5, with each focusing on different techniques and each presenting it's challenges.

Those are nice pieces! What of Villa Lobos are you looking at?

Des Abends is pretty tricky, good luck with that.

It's good on diversity in style, but everything is short.  You should also learn a longer piece!  Like a Classical Sonata.
