In this blog, I focused on some of the hardest parts of this movement of the Janácek Suite. I practiced getting the chords by making sure that every note was in tune, and that the top note rang. I also worked out a fingering for measures 49-53, the hardest part of the piece. Overall, I focused on intonation and rhythm.
(Once again, I apologize for the horrible sound quality. In this recording, whenever I played at a soft volume, my laptop did not catch those notes, so it made a kind of airy sound instead.)

Mars, the Bringer of War measures 91-94 (Orchestra)
This section of the piece, although admittedly very tiny, is one of the most challenging portions of this piece. In my video, I worked on different tempos and fingerings for the "crazy fast noodle-esque all kinds of accidentals" runs. I do not have it nearly up to tempo as of yet, but I will continue to work on increasing the speed (with the help of my best friend, the metronome).
Even though I forgot to play box seven in my video, I practiced that as well. I focused on creating and using the most efficient fingerings, and over-exaggerating the crescendos and decrescendos.
