I just got back from a lesson at my teacher's house, and soon I'm headed off to Rittenhouse Park to play for this benefit thing. I have maybe 8 short pieces prepared for it, and also a movement of unnacompanied Bach, and the third mvt. of the Bruch g minor. I'm also incredibly tired and have a headache but hopefully that won't affect much of my playing.
Some of the things I've been working on recently in my overall playing are: vibrato, larger, wider, tighter, etc. Trying to build up a bigger range. And the musical line and dynamics, trying to make them sound not so random :) Today I'm missing my school's camping trip for this Rittenhouse Flower Show, so it'd better go well!! Grr! Just kidding. Maybe I'll bring my rollerblades and skate around the square when I'm done. Okay, so, all for now.
