Everyday before I start work on my Lipinski, I play through the first movement of Wieniawski violin concerto no.1, my favorite. I was practicing the third page, that lovely cantabile melody right before the triple stops I got through that without a hitch but then I got to those double stopped harmonics and it was gone!!! I couldn't remember it to save my life, instead remnants of Lipinski floated around in my head, I think this is a good thing. It must mean my mind is starting to pick up the music finally. This is good.
