IDA PRESTI - 6 ETUDES - ETUDE No 2 IN E MINOR A Really Really Reeeeeally Beautiful Etude by Ida Presti (1924-1967) Hello everyone, i was looking for the score of this piece for a relatively long time until i finally found it, and now i'll share my joy with you. I recomend that you play the music slowly and with "heart and soul" feeling. If you don't know about Ida Presti it's worth the researching for the woman who is considered the best classical guitarist of the 20th century (and maybe of all time!!). She once had the advice from Segovia: "Never listen to the advice of any other guitarist!" when she was only thirteen. Enjoy!! And good luck to those who will attempt it!!
