Started with a Breval run through to warm up. Intonation is a little more difficult on the Prakticello, as the frame doesn't have much resonance. Also noticing that the action is quite high. I may take it in to have the bridge cut down a little bit when I get home.
After those first 5 minutes I got down to work on a particularly gnarly section of Shosty 5 mvmt 1, from reh 32-36. The note mvmt isn't too fast but it's like a big fingering puzzle. Had to reset the alarm in the middle to take a phone call, then ran over at the end, as I was determined to figure out a good fingering for the whole section, and reh 34 was not cooperating. Very pleased with the final result, though .
Last tricky spot, the Largamente at reh 36, awaits another day. Time to hit the beach.
