Started: Monday 2/20/17
Finished: Monday 6/26/17
Total: 18 weeks
End result: I can play it passably, but it still needs a lot of dynamic work. And I'm trying to memorize it.
Details:
This is a five page piece, not too technically challenging. There is one very difficult section, and four moderately difficult sections.
I stopped working on this from 2/21 to 4/17 (almost 8 weeks) . Not sure why. However, I'm including that time in the learning time since I often can't predict how learning is going to go.
big section work, 2 pages one day, then 3 the next.
small section work, 1, 1, 1, 2.
small section work, 1, 4.
Week one: avg 1.875 pages per intensive work day
big section work, all
Small section work, all
Small section work, 7 days
Big section work, 3, 2.
Week two: avg 1.8 pages per intensive work day
small section work, 2, 3
small section work, all
small section work, 1.5, 2.5, 1.5
spot practice, 1, 2.5, 1.
Big section, all
Week 3: avg 2.5 pages per intensive work day
details, 2.5, 1.5, 1
big section, all
details, all
small sections, all
Week 4: avg 3.33 per intensive work day
Conclusion:
5 pages/18 weeks = .27
1 page/4 weeks = .25
I could probably use this effectively as designed for a moderately challenging two page piece.
It's a heartening to see my learning increase as I work on the piece - I have to do less intensive work as time passes.
It would be interesting to break this down into hours, and see if I were not working full time how much lower this ratio would be.
I'm starting Sonatina Prodigio by Virgilio Mortari, and will also be interested to see if this ratio holds up. I have learned the first movement (not well) in the past.
