Nutcracker Mvt. 8: 87-90

Like I was "technically" supposed to do for my last blog, I have practiced the section 87-90 of the eighth Nutcracker movement. A video of me playing it should be available below: 

To play this well, I focused on bow division, specifically giving each of the slurred quarter notes an equal portion of the bow (to maintain a constant volume - fortissimo!). I also focused on the rhythms of the harder sections, such as the group of sixteenth note triplets + quintuplet before box 88, and the hemiola right before box 90.
