Technically Supposed to be Nutcracker Mvt. 8 Boxes 87-90 (Orchestra)

This portion of the Nutcracker is not incredibly difficult for the violas, in fact I only played through it twice during my practice time this weekend, and that sufficed. However, there were several other things that I focused on while I was practicing:

• In the 10th movement of the Nutcracker Suite, there is a false harmonic solo for the viola. It is technically for two soloists, the first and second chair violists, and since I am one of those it is important for me to master this solo for the concert. Today I went over how to play each note as a false harmonic, and also played each note normally to get used to shifting around on first finger.
• All State Orchestra auditions are this upcoming weekend, so I played through all of the required scales, EM, FM, F#M, GM, and G chrom., and both of the excerpts, the viola solo from the Roman Carnival Overture by Berlioz, and a part of the third movement of Brahms' Symphony No. 2. I focused on keeping both excerpts at the given tempi and playing them to be as musical as possible.
• I also looked at my current concerto, Handel's Viola Concerto in B Minor. I have been working on this piece for several months, so my main goal today was to play through the entire thing without stopping (even if it required a slower tempo).
• Finally, I read through the second part of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 by Bach as I am going to play this as a duet for solo and ensemble. I took the first movement at a very slow tempo as it was my first time ever looking at it, and I worked out a few fingerings as well. I'll continue to work on this for solo and ensemble.
