15 minutes (with timer!) of Bochsa and Notturno. Really need to stop when timer stops.

Played 10 minutes, no harm done (so far). Set an alarm this time! (And actually stopped when it went off, heh.)

Played too long.

Oops.

Played (Flight) once through slowly. Need metronome to keep it slow and pay attention to finger shape.

Played (Flight) slowly, 10 min. Played a little bit of (Mirage), 5 min. Fingers appreciated the exercise.

Little bit of Bochsa, 5 minutes?

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.
