Nice work on your Rochut this week – great phrasing, and lyrical playing.  Keep experimenting with vibrato in No. 8 this week.  Since this one is in D major, experiment with using the finger “123” for E naturals.

Good job with the technical study as well.  I’ll look forward to hearing the D major study from Blume, and Slama Nos. 6 and 7 next week.  As with the Rochut, experiment with using “123” for E naturals in the Blume study.  Work on passages with tricky fingering patterns in isolation, slowly, and gradually increase speed.  Use a metronome to take stock where you can comfortably play these studies, and push yourself to move up from there.

Have a great week.  See you next Wednesday!
