Re: WEEK 2: Dóbry den’ (Good Day)!
Study 6 update. It's not perfect, but it is a touch faster here, with fewer mistakes, and no stops and starts. Getting there! I still can't play measures 5-11 consistently without mistakes.

@Martin I did find them online, but maybe it is not legal. I certainly don't intend to promote illegal scores.

@Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack. I honestly wish I had more discipline. When I watch my hands in this video (especially my right hand) I see all kinds of problems.

I love these pieces, and there are already several great tutorials by William Kanengiser and a livestream by Martin.

@Brett Gilbert I bet. My oldest is a high school junior, so I’m just a couple years behind you.

@Derek It hit me like a brick wall at first, but once I started analyzing the problem and targeting my practice, I was able to make some chips in the wall.

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
@Brett Gilbert Thanks, Brett! I am finding it to be difficult, but mostly because I have never really done right hand articulation like this. If you are good at that, though,…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
@joosje Thanks Joosje! I agree that the double-stop at the end of measures 1-2 is written as a regular quarter note, which goes along with Koshkin’s short-long motif that way.…

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise! The only thing different for sound is a different room. Apparently you like the sound better in my living room and not my dining room, where I usually record.

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
@Emma Excellent, Emma! You maintained a good moving tempo throughout, even in the trickier spots. I found myself slowing down at spots with this one (without wanting to).

Study 6 Update Here's where I'm at after today's practice session. The tempo is up a bit, and I feel a little more controlled. The same sections are still my weak spots (measures 5-11 and 21-22) but…

@Barney Good job, Barney! You are definitely further along with this one than I am. I like the tempo, articulation, and variation in tone color very much.

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
Study 6 Well, after about an hour of practice, I can at least play through the piece now, albeit VERY slowly and with MANY mistakes. What was easy: Does not apply What was difficult: Everything,…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)!
@joosje Thanks, Joosje! All the right hand articulation is really new to me, so what better way to dig into this challenge. It's getting there slowly. Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement.

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks for listening and for the advice, Blaise! Like I mentioned, I am finding that nearly impossible to do as written without going extremely slowly at first (like quarter =20).…
