Practice Blog #10

For this blog, I practiced the entire Three Folk Miniatures. I took into account the things I needed to fix and tried to fix them. In the first movement, I made sure I did the forte - piano in the trill, and kept the pitch steady during the trill. Also, I made every note was on the beat and staccato. For the second movement, I made sure I slurred all the notes that needed to be slurred and kept the piece moving forward. I need to work on my breath control. Right now,  I can make it 3 or 4 measures, but I run out of  air quicker than I want to, so I really to work better phrasing. Also, I thought that m.23 to 31 was a lot more controlled than it was the first time, and I worked on hitting all the notes at 31. In the third movement, I worked on the style of the piece - marcato - and made sure it stayed that way the entire time.  I also worked on spacing my 8th notes at m.35 so they wouldn't clump together. Overall, I think this piece has gotten better, but it still needs some work.
