Now, you can't do much more than that

I worked and worked and worked on the Beethoven. Aside from warming up and working on my G, I did nothing else, not even my pedals.

Ok, I just ran over to the trombone and blew a few pedals, because I think I said I'd do pedals every day in March, and it is March already. That's the way this trombone playing works for me, make it play, make it a game, change my targets all the time and it keeps me going.

Anyway, back to the Beethoven, I feel great about the work I did. It's a bassoon part, after all! There are a ton of fast passages!

Edit P.S. Oh, and when I first started working on the Beethoven, I almost started crying because my G was giving me such fits. I decided to eat dinner instead and when I came back to it, the G was much better and I felt no need to cry. Lesson: When you feel like crying, it is probably not the trombone playing that is the reason. :)
