I need a Robert Schumann beanie baby, cuz I think everyone needs a beanie baby to abuse in the practice room. My friend Gina has a toy goose on top of her piano, and today, whilst struggling with some Gershwin, cried out, "I do not play out of tune Miss Lucy Goose!" and knocked it headlong to the floor.

Practicing lots of Bach and Paganini, now that school auditions are finished and I'm busier with orchestra work. I hope to start working on the B minor partita soon, it's the one Bach piece I've never looked at before in my life.

Of course, doing all this unaccompanied violinistic stuff makes me want to take a crack at Ysaye #2, but I know I want to be fluent in more Pag before I do that, the last thing I want to do is struggle with something as cool as "The Furies".
