Yes, I got my practice time in today. It feels wonderful! I love love love to practice! I'm still loving my new bow! It's taking a little time to learn it's capabilities. The Rondo is getting better. I didn't do Schradieck today but I will tomorrow. I added a new 3 octave scale (Bb Major). I am listening to a few of my favorite violinists performing the Rondo Capriccioso and so far my favorite interpretation is Itzhak Perlman! There is another violinist that I like and her name is Janine Jensen. I also like David Oistrak. I didn't like Joshua Bell's interpretation which I'm shocked because I loved his playing on the Red Violin. He is a great violinist but on the Rondo I wasn't impressed!
Today I tried practicing the sections by memory to see what I know. I went very slow. I was happy that I was able to play most of it by memory however, I'm still learning the fingerings and bowings. The last page I'm practicing very slowly and still have a long ways to go. I can play all of the last page but only slow, I'm mean super slow because as soon as I speed up it gets out of tune on the high parts and the bow gets out of control and I loose my tone. Over all it was a good day!
I always feel complete when I've practiced my violin!
