Well, life is treating me well today and the last few days. I just spent an hour on some chords and passages in the Bruch third mvt. and all of a sudden the time had passed. I love it when that happens. A sure sign I'm focusing hard. I did have a little neck pain, at least stiffness for sure, when I lowered my violin from my shoulder after that. I really go at those chords like they will save the world or something. Need to work on serenity. Even in nonserene passages, I must be serene in order for them to be in controll. Anyhow. I had to turn the fan off while practicing because it distorted the sound and now the apartment is dripping with heat. So I'm off for a cold shower.
Sals,
JW
