Day 11/100 of the #100daysofpractice
You know when you have one of those days that your so determined on some music but your fingers were not working?
Well had one of those days haha.
Thought I would tackle one of the Most challenging pieces in the bass orchestral repertoire: Richard Strauss Ein Heldenleben. I have never performed it but it’s on every orchestral audition list out there.
It’s a toughy!!! I’m not ready to post such a thing yet but made some good progress ❤️❤️ Spent an hour on that puppy.
This video I took of the opening 20ish bars of Gustav Mahler Symphony No 2. I love this one! Always a favourite of mine.
Overall 2 and a half hours on practice! Not bad.
