Thursday. Don't plan too much

For the last couple of days, I had been planning to wake up in the morning and practice. It almost never happened; then, I am disappointed and mad at myself, and then because I think that I wasted the morning practice and nothing substantial could be accomplished, I don't practice in the evening. That is a vicious circle. I have to break it. I have to take baby steps and practice every time I have opportunity regardless if my goals will be accomplished. It is not the goal but the journey what counts:)

Evening practice: I did not do much

1. I repeated Schubert Waltz; I pretty much can play it from memory now
   

Wednesday

Lesson with Stella

1. Schubert Waltz in b. Note1: play right hand a little deeply. Note2: the modulation is: b minor, D Major, b minor, B Major. The cords in the left hand are simple the inversion and dominant. Analyze it.
2. Schubert Serenade. We played it together. Note1: move up the tempo.

Evening practice:

1. I memorized the Waltz.
   
2. I went through TPI 1, 8, 13. I worked out the parts where I usually have technical difficulties. Note: I have to change my habit of repeating the whole piece; it is better just to focus on one difficult aspect and polish it.
3. I went through 3 more bars of WTC I Prelude in c (hands together). Now I am on bar no 7.
   

Tuesday

Morning practice

1. Schubert Seranade (Stadchen), arr. for four hands: I went through the whole piece, hands separate and together. If I repeat this tonight and tomorrow morning, I could play it with Stella.

Evening practice

1. Schubert Seranade (Stadchen): hands together
   

Monday

I spent ~1h30m practicing

1. WTC I Preludium in c: separate hands; I am getting better, but I think I will need one more day before I could put them together.
2. Schubert Waltz no 6 in b op. 18: I can play 'all' three lines without stops; now it is time to memorize it.
3. I repeated my standard repertoire.
   

Sunday

I went through:

1. WTC I in c: separate hands; first page only. It is better and better.
2. WTC I in C: I memorized some more bars; I can say 75% of work is done.
3. Schubert waltz; I started memorizing it.
   

Lesson + Practice

Lesson with Stella: we went through:

1. WTC I Prelude in c: separate left and right hands
2. Schubert Serenade: separate left and right hands to figure out fingering. Note: when playing triplet, sit down on the first note and hold it a little bit longer; that will improve to overall timing. Note2: when figuring out fingering, pay attention to the direction of a musical line, and that will help to determine the first finger.

Practice: I did little practice

1. I repeated my standard repertoire:)
2. I went through Schubert waltz; I don't remember the number. I did this piece couple of months ago, and I was surprised how easily it came back. Tomorrow I will try to memorize it.
   

Practice

I practiced for about 1:15.

1. WTC I Prelude in c: I did right hand (I am starting to feel comfortable) and then left hand.
2. WTC I Prelude in C: I memorized it till bar 17.
3. Schubert Serenade for four hands; I went quickly through right hand just to get the feel of it.
