Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Blaise Laflamme I don’t have a good lighting setup. Light is from a single ceiling light which is dimmable. There is also a Bow window the room.

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Jack Stewart This is a tough piece, but you seem to be on the right track. Your cross-string trills are very good so they can be integrated seamlessly as your phrasing develops further.…

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Jack Stewart Thanks Jack! I think memorizing most of the piece helps to not pay attention to my fingers and notes as much , but rather, to listen as I'm playing to the sound and flow of the music.…
