Tue 20 min
15 min - Prelude #4, 2nd page of Rosanoff version at a glacial pace. Started again from the beginning using the Casals ed. May be worth a YouTube excursion to look at fingering and bowing choices.

5 min - Mooney Thumb Position Bk 1, position 1 warmups

My fingers are insisting they have never played the cello before, but I have faith. And also 2 more weeks before lessons and orchestra resume.

1st practice this month. Prelude #4, 1st page at a glacial tempo. Rosanoff suggested fingerings are bizarre. Fingers buzzing. Wo0t!
