Day 1. Back in the saddle. I was such a wuss yesterday. However, I couldn't face another half hour of Breval quite yet, so I spent today's "mandatory" practice time on the Offenbach Adagio for cello quartet. It was a mimicking exercise, trying to match a recording to get the timing of the turns "right," or at least better. I also did some more experimenting with fingerings, toward smoothing the phrases, and practiced some of the difficult leaping intervals. It was productive work that I had been meaning to get around to.

20 more consecutive days to go.
