Lee Op 70 No 11:
Watch intonation on D4 (D4=D above middle C) . Tune to open D periodically to check intonation. In this entire piece, there is no reasaon to ever move the LH out of first position. Therefore, if I can keep the LH steady without extraneous movement, I should stay in tune.
Therefore, tonight instead of looking at the music, I practiced watching my LH in the mirror to try to give feedback to the LH.
Lament
Try tricky m. 4 several times. If I get to the tip, I will likely not try to cheat the rhythm when you I find myself in a spot. Use a fast bow to cover the entire bow in the first quarter note, but not louder.
General Left Hand
Can be 1 and 2 can be closer together than you think – same with 3 and 4. The LH fingers are not supposed to be uniformly spaced.
Nice to visit your blog every now and then. Not too many other folks are cello blogging lately. Do you know of any active cello bloggers?
I clicked on your link but it said I have to be invited.
My blog address for cello reflections is http://donnareo.blogspot.com
Sorry, Michael. I had to change my settings.
