Tried Les Anesses Grises sur la Route d'El-Azib. A little too much for my stiff fingers.

15 min of lariviere, bochsa, and (flight).

15 or so minutes of Lariviere and Bochsa. Fingers feel good if yet weak.

7 minutes of Vi... something exercises.

Rt hand 4th finger 1st joint is bending inward.

ETA: Lariviere. I knew it had a "vi" somewhere in it.

I thought playing nothing but scales was boring. Playing nothing at all is even worse.

Been ordered complete rest of the left hand. :(

So

sick

of

scales.

Hands separately seems to be the way to go to get things to not fall apart. And give myself a blister.

Augh! Neither brain nor body wanted to practice tonight, forced an hour, now off to completely turn my brain to putty with Legend of the Seeker.

Started out great, but fell apart the more I played it. Why does that happen?

Almost got up to ♪=176. Remember, it's not a race against the metronome, you're playing with it, not trying to beat it.

Set up appointment for PT for hand. yays.

Quick run through scales, 30 sec.

Same stuff as yesterday, but thumb didn't hurt while playing.

Scales, problem spots (one of many) in (Flight). Thumb really hurting. Guess I'll be starting PT for that soon.

Worked on Bochsa. Another allegro ma non troppo. Thanks.

Quick check through (Flight). Some of the notes are still there.

Pozzoli had a few scale-y things in it. A few more lines of Bochsa learned, sort of. Got it up to ♪=132, sort of.

I am so tired of scales. But my thumb seems to be getting gradually better. I performed a cursory search of my music to see if anything else scale-y could be found. Need to do a more thorough search. *sigh*

Boscha and Salzedo.

50 minutes
