This weekend was a three day weekend, I did a lot of repertoire maintenance, I’m trying to maintain and improve my exhisting rep.
I did some work on the adagio section of Concierto de Aranjuez, it has some very tricky rhythms so I’m taking my time with that.
Today I wasn’t able to do my usual 1 to 1.5 hours this morning, had to go out for most of the day.
In the morning, practiced Op.148 No. 1 by Giulliani just the beginning and ending sections.
In the evening, Warmed up with Etudes by Carcassi (Op. 60, No. 1), Sor(op 38. no’s 14,17,19), and Carulli (larghetto). I love practicing these gorgeous etudes.
pretty tired from a road trip I took with my wife today.
Focusing heavily on i,m alternation with free stroke.
I grew my nails back on i,m,a, and no nail on p. I don’t feel I need it right now.
I spent the entire practice session tonight working on Carcassi No.1, I’m rethinking some of the right hand fingering, the edition I have by Elias Barreiro has some specific fingering suggestions that I’ve been using but now I’m thinking of using my thumb more for the bass strings and changing some other fingerings.
I just realized that Elias’s last name has “Barre” in it, pretty cool 😉
