130th day

I guess I'm past a third of a year of practicing every day. Today is a gift practice day, too. I should have been in the air on my way to Anchorage now, but the flight is delayed and I will be leaving much later than I'd expected. Sad to get to Anchorage so late, but it gave me this nice spacious time for a long evening practice that I had not expected.

My focused twice-daily practice over the weekend has paid off. Everything I worked on tonight came more easily. I worked on Beeler exercises, the duets, the 4th movement of the Shostakovich, and both student symphony pieces - everything in the Sinfonietta and backwards practice on the Beethoven, from 440 to the end.
