"Evening rain" - short etude

"Evening rain" - short etude about:

-'pearl' touch
- tremolo hand preparation, forearm rotation ( "wrist oscillation")
- hand independence
- rhythmic freedom, expression

[Please, do not take my video demo as a model of execution, as I expect much better touch and also the tremolo should be much more precise and uniform. There is also a melody within the tremolo part which should be brought out more clearly. It probably takes several weeks of focused daily exercise to do well...]

Enjoy!
