Sonatina Prodigio is more done. I have the 3rd mvt almost memorized. It just happened on its own!

I am now working on memorizing Satie and Revrie.

I was sad to learn while watching the Oscars that Jóhann Jóhannsson passed away very recently.

Sonatina Prodigio

I started Sonatina Prodigio on June 18, 2017. It was a piece I had "learned" before. As in, I could play it slowly and badly, and just the first movement "Gagliarda". I worked pretty steadily on it through July and August.

It took me 11 days of focused learning in "Week 1" of "30 Days to Done" to get it to a passable level, in my opinion. Or a level where I could continue to work on it and actually progress.

I got bogged down at the end of August/beginning of September, or "Week 2", trying to improve the small sections again. I ended up stopping because I just couldn't focus that hard anymore after 15 days. I picked it back up in mid-October.

Then I worked steadily through to today, January 12, 2018, excepting Christmas holiday. I picked it right back up after that, surprisingly.

Gagliarda is definitely in much better shape than when I originally "learned" it. It's very wobbly, though.

Calzone haha! Canzone is fine. Maybe needs a little work on the harmonics.

Toccata needs to be memorized in order to flow. It goes so quickly that I can't find my place on the music when I need a reminder. It's pretty repetitive and I do have most of it memorized. The glisses need to be in time, as well.

Now I just need to play it a whole bunch, then set it aside for a while.

Up to Gymnop 1 & 2, Gnoss 3 mostly memorized.

Prodigio - Trying to chain the 3rd mov. was exhausting so stopped. Trying to chain 1st mov. - stuck on 1st small section.

Prodigio - 30 dtd small sections

Memorizing - Debussy Reverie, Satie Gymnopedie 1

Run through rep up to 1st arabesque

Thumb is healing but hurts in a place I didn't cut it. ???

Still not motivated to practice, so played around with Mortari's Gagliarda and Tournier's Cloches sous la Neige.

Goals:
At least look at a calendar.
★ Listen to prog rock
★ Conditioning exercises. These are getting easier.
★ Goldfish. I've got most of this memorized. I think maybe I should try to build up my repertoire of easy songs.
Look at other Tiny Tales.
★ Do detail work on Windy Nights. It might be easier than Looking Glass River.
★ Pick next piece for 30DtD. Ugh. Tambourin is the winner.
Start 30DtD.
One of two remaining Automne sections.
Set up repertoire refresher schedule.
Do last repertoire activity.
Order Mortari's music?
