Today felt like the first time in a long time that I have made an improvement on Haydn Concerto No. 1. It is this triplet passage where I can't get the right bow stroke on the "piano" phrases. But, I fixed it today because I could not stand it anymore. I started the cadenza. It is a lot of fun. I have some spots that I need to watch my intonation in, such as near the ending: the diminished seven arpeggios, double stopped sevenths, and that really high g major arpeggio that goes to the edge of the fingerboard.

Schradieck and kreutzer are coming along nicely. bach is as well.
