Ok THIS is the last etude before I went away for a while and didn't record. During the summer I finished the Rose 32 Etudes and began the Rose 40 Etudes, so the next etude I post will be from a new book.

This is etude number 11 in d minor. This one is slow and dramatic- almost operatic. Even though it's slow, interpreting the rhythm is a little tricky, since it's in 3/2 or 6/4 and can be felt in a long, slow 2-beat feel, or a long, slow 3-beat feel.

About the etude project:

I've been challenging myself to practice a different etude every day and prepare it to the best of my ability in one day. This has been very helpful, but I wanted to add an additional element of pressure/nervousness. So I started recording them to post here.

It's not a real performance- I usually AM playing with a metronome, and I usually record these in a couple of takes and put them together later. I'll try to do them in a single take when possible, but usually I'll break them up.
