46 min Fairly evenly divided between
E MAJ 4 8va and 3 8va patterns, de Swert
Breval
Chanson Triste
The last half was focused on playing freely, without excess tension. I pulled out CT to work specifically on shifts.

(A slightly longer break required to make my first order from LuLu: @EmilyCello's Modern Cello Manual, hot off the press. Actually, since it's LuLu it's not even off the press yet, but hopefully will be rapidly printing in response to thousands of eager orders.)

55 min Boismortier
Took 45 min to finger the 3d and 4th mvmts, mostly the 4th. Lots of neck position and baroque 4-4 shifts. It will be a really good piece to work on shifting math. Last 10 minutes to review the whole piece, and mark in a few omitted fingerings. Next session: actual technical work.
