Start 1743
10 min - Breval
The usual, warm up run through, then focus on 2 string chords and trills. Also a little intonation. The chords were not a speed bump today - I think it's working.
10 min - orchestra
Finished reading King Stephan, then 1.5 pages of Schumann 1. Stumbled a bit, then the rhythms kicked in. Ah, yes, this is Schumann!
10 min - Offenbach
Soft fingers in the melody, intonation of the first mini cadenza, still working on the timing of the cadenza. Intonation of the double stops ending the screechy section.
10 min - Handel
Esp. the thumb position parts.
End: 1840
Total time: 57 min
Total practice: 40 min
