Sunday, January 3

30 min
Day 3. Again focused only on Breval C. Began by playing through by memory as well as I could, before looking at the music. A few lapses, but no major detours. Did have some confusion at the first variant at the end of the 1st phrase in the B section, so reviewed that. Then started at the mid point and worked phrase by phrase backward through the A section, then forward through the B section. With 3 minutes left I ran the whole piece again. Only a few minor lapses, and usually had to do with where to start a run of triplets: on D or G. Will review that first thing tomorrow.

Other than running through it, I suspect the next useful exercise will be to mark starting points and play them randomly by throwing dice or picking numbers from a bowl.
