BPU Day 12 intent

When I was in college, I hung out a lot with Arabs. There is not a difference between "b" and "p" in Arabic, and they would sometimes confuse the sounds in speech - maybe like calling a puppy a bubby (I can't remember any specific examples; that was so long ago). The moral of the story, though, is that I made fun of my friends when they did this (we were very good friends), and my karmic result is that I often confuse "b" and "p" on the keyboard. Hence, typing BPU sometimes takes me multiple tries before I get it right.

I want to go for my full hour tonight, but I will relent if my chops start to die. I was extremely otherwise engaged today (my class, lunch out for a colleague who is retiring, a sight singing lesson, plus ... oh, I MADE AN OFFER TO BUY A HOUSE). So, I am trying to put the whole practice in one session.

Goal:

• Warmup
• A flat major scales (notice the pattern here?)
  
• Peter and the Wolf (to cement what I learned last night and to work with the mute a bit; my first real experience with the mute)
  
• Petite Waltz bottom part
• Berlioz
