Carcassi Etude 16

This stunning etude by Matteo Carcassi always reminds me of Mozart. The lyrical melody and gentle suspensions require a sophisticated touch in the right hand. The melody has to ring out clearly and be shaped with crescendo/decrescendo and the accompaniment needs to stay soft underneath. The final result as performed by Jeff is a beautiful piece of music!
