Today my neighbor turns 80 and he asked for a cello concert! So I am going to play all of Bach 6 for him. His concert will be my first performance of the entire suite. I am nervous and excited. Performing is part of memorizing for me, and I need to play this piece a lot to get comfortable with its demanding technique and to get closer to memorizing it!
Here is my plan for today:
Stretch
Do Neikrug Exercise sliding finger stretching exercise
Do Bunting bowing exercise
Do a drone session
15 minutes work then play through for Sarabande, Gavotte I, Gigue
5 minutes work then play for rest of Bach
30 minutes Finzi
