TCHAIK PROJECT 5 - Longer periods of time

From now on I will post the diaries every 2 weeks. It’s a lot of work to each post and the practices repeat a lot. This way, with more information in each post, you can also see the frequency of practice sections and of what I practice in each section (me too!).

Just arrived? Here is an introduction to the TCHAIK PROJECT.

Readings of those weeks:
The correct way to sit in a chair

And I finished watching the Kato Havas workshop that is on Youtube. The first video is here. Very interesting.

September 16th, 2019 - Monday

I finally finished reading Tchaikovsky’s page on Wikipedia. Has some interesting insights about how to look at his work...

I opened the violin and started playing the 1st movement. Out of the blue. I played a little under tempo, seeing if I memorized something. I have the notes and rhythms of the 1st page already in my head (not all the fingerings yet, specially at the end of the page). I still have to memorize the bowings, a good part of the dynamics and a more solid idea of what the orchestra has. But I got very happy!

I have a little more than 1 hour to practice. I’m lost about what to do, I confess…

PROJETO TCHAIKOVSKY - TCHAIK PROJECT

First, there is the introduction video:

Then there would be the formal text of the research project, which is basically what I said in the video but with fancy academic words. The only new information there is the name Professor Amilcar Zani, who is the responsible advisor for my project.

Subsequently, a little question: do you prefer the practice diaries to be published monthly or weekly?

And finally: Thank you everyone for joining me in this adventure!

Hugs, Helena. =)
