For this blog, I worked on Sun Cycles. This piece is a very interesting one and I really like the way it sounds in class. Overall, I feel I have good notes and rhythms, as well as pretty good tone and intonation. In the first passage, Sunrise, I don't play much but during my part I need to work on slurring all the notes together in order to achieve a smooth, connected tone. In the second passage, Journey through the sky, I need to work on articulating every note at the beginning part from m.22 to 36, in order to get every note out. From m.44 to 55, I need to work on dynamic contrast because m. 44 -47 are soft and then m.48 is louder. Then, at m.65, I need to work on timing because all my notes are not together and I need to count the rests properly. For the third passage, Underworld, I need to work on having a smooth, connected style and tone throughout, as well as counting all the half notes properly in m.101 to 106. In the final passage, Renewal, I need to work on slurring and adding some dynamics to color the section a little bit. At the end, in m.121, I need to stagger breathe and hold the long note so it doesn't fall flat. Overall, this piece is good, but requires more work.
