December 7, 20196 yr I thought that I had finally finished my 4th étude, but then I found several errors, so I will post it later. In the meantime, I am posting an earlier étude (nr2), which I revised quite a lot about two years ago. I dedicated it to a great pianist and friend, who passed away. I would like to know what you think of it.
December 8, 20196 yr Great piece!! I love it a lot, it's very Schumman/Schubert alike or at least I think so Edited December 8, 20196 yr by J.Santos

Thanks a lot for your feedback, and I am glad that you like the piece. In fact, Schumann/Schubert are some of my favourite composers, and a lot of my inspiration comes from their style. My new étude is now ready, and I will post it very soon.
June 19, 20214 yr I might be a little late but I enjoyed this piece as well. The constant sextuplet 16th notes keep the forward motion going without getting repetitive. I noticed that you start the piece in C# minor but end in F# minor and also, many phrases in the middle tonicize C# minor at the end while others tonicize F# minor - maybe this constant playing around with the tonality is what keeps it subliminally interesting for me? Probably also the liberal use of neapolitan and augmented 6th chords. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Peter I was pleasantly surprized to get another feedback on this piece after posting it for more than a year ago. Thanks a lot, and I am very glad that you like it! Best regards
