Okay, so I know you probably won't believe this Mr. Stevenson, But I have been Practising and I have completely forgot to post. Usually once I'm done practising I move on to some other form of homework and completely forget. So basically this week, I practised tuesday night, and wednesday night and last weekend I practised saturday and sunday. I cannot specifically remember what I practised however, I know I work on all music fest pieces and the playing test that was on thursday. The biggest challenges I have faced throughout the past week is
Rumble: Making sure I have my counting right and really focusing on dynamics and articulation. There are a lot of different rhythms in the piece and I need to make sure that I have them all down.
Rhosymedre:The french horn does have the melody a lot in this piece so I have been working on my breathing and have been attempting to stretch out the phrases. I have been trying this because the melody sounds awul when a random breath is taken in the missle of a phrase
Light Eternal: The two sections I have been working on are 40 and 157. I have been working on these sections because the french horn has mainly a solo part, and I do not want it to sound muddy. Although at band on thursday you did say 40 needed work, back to the drawing board.
Playing test: Mainly with this playing test I tried to learn the fingering for the Bb french horn (since I'm playing one). The fingerings do make a difference, with a nicer pitch and it is easier to reach higher notes, I just have to memorize them and getused to them without returning to my old ways of playing.
