William Tell ... muddy on those low C's! I'm trying to double tongue ta-ka-ta and I'm muddy ... but I haven't been working on William Tell this week. Really need to work the muddy C's. I played the whole piece once and didn't have it down, so I sang it through and that helped immensely the second time through.
The etudes all went great, the little allegro piece coming along though I keep messing up on the last line with the low notes - get the C and the A mixed up, the B flat and the D.
OK, I did not make it all the way through the Mahler, after all, but not for lack of trying. The alto clef is hard to read and the notes are very high for me but it sounds REALLY cool.
So, even though I did not achieve all of my practice goals tonight, it was a very good practice.
