30 min
Warmed up with Feuillard, #33-35. Several iterations of 33 and 34 with different bowings, then the 3 Bach bowings on 35 - u2d2 in ds, u2d2 bowed, and d3u1. This is a very good preparation for working in the Bach.

Which is what I did next, focusing 1/3 on m37-44, the d3u1 bowing, and the bulk of this segment on m44-60, those thumb position chords. Within that, my primary focus was on the kinesthetics of moving into each chord change, working only the u2d2 ds bowing. I'm starting to get a feel for the large level changes required of the left elbow to facilitate the transition into and out of thumb position.
