April with the guitar. All for Andrew’s piece.
1 - getting some coaching on my cadenza
2 - the cadenza in question
3 - gotta stick the landing
4 - hot licks
5 - performative reading on public transit
6 - cleaning up hot licks
7 - maybe my favorite part of this piece but it’s driven me crazy this whole time. can’t find a way to play it like i’d like. every solution offers a new challenge. i’ve run out of time, and this is what i have to offer.

March practice.
Really all devoted to Andrew’s forthcoming concerto.
1 - hot licks
2 - wasn’t going to let myself out of this room until i had figured this part out. trying to fisk it (bring out the lower voices too)
3 - getting my tremolo back with regondi (this piece is so nice)
4 - part from the second movement. this has since been cut from the piece. that’s show business baby.
5 - We Have A Piece!!! (reading thru the draft of the first movement, which was the last movement he sent me)
6 - fun part from the first movement
7 - beginning of the third movement. rather tricky i must confess.
