Played the usual Bach all weekend, its a challange to play the intro of the Chaconne smoothly and up to tempo, this is what I have been focusing on more than progressing to page two.
Sunday I again went to the library seeking new music and movies to play when practising. My love for new age music is still present and I picked up a gorgeous cd by Liz Story (I have been a fan of her music for almost 20 years) called "Unaccountable Effect" and improvised along to that for a while. Also, "The Deer Hunter" is now one of my favorite movies ever.
Playing and listening to different styles and having fresh movies playing in the background really helps keep my practice routine fresh and inspired and minimises boredom.
