6/28/13

Bach c#
25'

  • continue as w/ yesterday; added p.4 landmark


Concerto
30'
metronome 60

  • A-H
  • P-end
  • both of above are fairly solid
  • just started work on O
Couperin
25'
  • pretty set
  • start away from instrument next time
  • next time: solidify everything
Bell
20'
  • started w/ middle section, in pretty good shape
  • next time: start away from instrument first
  • almost good to go
Bach D & C#
30'
  • metronome 60 away from instrument
  • metronome a tempo playing landmarks
  • C# needs new proportional tempo marking (quarter to quarter, instead of dotted quarter to quarter; this will allow faster prelude and slower fugue)
  • D tried 68/68
  • D is just about ready to go; finish early next week & play for JAM

6/27/13

Concerto
30'

  • did everything with metro @60
  • PQRST
  • ABCDEF
  • started O
  • this is getting exciting! (working memory with metro is a really good idea)


Bell
25'

  • contact composer for correct metronome marking
  • worked landmarks 1-2-3 and last three; one section to go!
  • b minor section: should be one or two landmarks?


Couperin
25'

  • started away from instrument
  • checked first edition for repeat signs
  • worked entire piece/individual landmarks @ 50

6/26/13

Couperin
25'
  • start with last couplet
  • next time, start by working away from the instrument
Bach: C# and D
set stopwatch to see how much time it takes: 54'
  • work landmarks away from inst
  • play landmarks w/metronome
    • C# Prel: 60; Fugue: 60
    • D Prel: 70; Fugue 8th note 70
  • Play a tempo w/metronome
    • rough tempo sketch:
      • C# Prel 65, Fugue 86
      • D: P & F @ 72 (fugue too fast? prelude too slow?)
  • note: proportional tempo formula for C#
    • 65/3 = 86/4
Bach c#
25'
  • see yesterday's notes
    • revert to two landmarks at opening, instead of one for all entrances
  • all initial subj/answ semi-learned
  • future work:
    • do top of each page to start learning, instead of start/end/start/end
Bell
25'

  • first two landmarks stabile; last two stabile
  • began third from end
note: maybe this is a reason to put letters on landmarks...although I know what I mean...
