Week 2

Well, this week has been a mix of really good things and not so good things.  I managed to get sick enough to where I didn't even touch my instrument on friday, only finger practiced saturday, and only did about half the usual time on sunday.  The days I did practice, though, went rather well. 

I don't feel like I managed to make too much improvement on the air intensity thing since I lost so many days of practice, so I'll need some more time before I get that settled.

The high B-C# interval gives me trouble still (I comes out easily, just not as smooth as I want it to be).  I don't know if it's a finger thing or voicing.

I worked some more on articulation, but didn't really focus on it.  I should be ok on that, though/

The Sierra is going rather well I'd say.  There are small things in mvt's 1-3 that still give me trouble, but I feel like I could perform this much for rep class soon.  In fact, I'm cosidering next week and just not doing the Cavallinni then since I wouldn't need a pianist and I just like this piece a lot more (plus I feel that it represents where I am in my playing better). 

Side note: I'm not feeling 100% healed yet as I write this, so hopefully I'll be feeling better for the lesson tomorrow.  I'll try for some extra sleep or something.
