D-flat major scale
Kreutzer No. 12
Last Double of the B-minor Partita
I have been practicing this week, just not writing. A newspaper article I am working on has taken all my writing time these last two weeks.
This Kreutzer exercise has lots of difficult intonation. Every phrase has a different fourth-finger stretch high up on the E string that has to be pounded into muscle memory. Even the videos of virtuosic youngsters practicing this exercise don't make it sound great.
I am enjoying the Bach. I'm sorry that tomorrow will be my last day to practice the B-Minor Partita. It's exciting, though, to have played 2 of the Spartitas.
Sonata No. 2, which I'll start on Sunday, looks quite difficult, and I haven't played it at all, whereas I've played movements of both the E-Major and D-Minor Partitas.
