My mind is a continuous pattern of 16th note runs at haphazardly scattered dynamics and terribly inconsistent articulations. In cut time.
WHO WOULD PUT 16th NOTES IN A DICTATION ASSIGNMENT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US WHY

Hour 50 - 51
Messed around with 5 and 6 note groupings of 16th notes, mostly in pentatonics, mixed in with improv. I'm working on internalizing where the accents are placed. Check out what this sounds like just over a single bar. It's an exciting way to tie ideas together, or to kickstart a new concept.
I stretched this out to build a long run, by articulating the first note from each grouping, while playing a steady stream of 16ths until the rhythmic pattern repeated itself. It's cool to take notes away and only play fragments of this idea, or even just the accented notes on their own to build tension.
DAY 3
Didn't practise on the 2nd because it was Kemin's last day :( I had lieder training in the morning/afternoon and then met up with family for lunch AND dinner. Between the two meals were a few hours that I had to do work for at home on the computer...
Anyway, today after getting home at 11 and eating dinner, I managed to sneak in maybe 45 minutes of the excerpts for tomorrow. Even if wasn't too much, I need to remember THIS to ace Brahms 1 (c)!!!:
USE RIGHT FOREARM TO CONTROL FAST 16th NOTES! no funny business with the fingers to change the bow, it won't be clear, it won't be precise, it just won't work. forearm (firm wrist) will ensure that the bow contact is locking on the string, and that the direction won't go bazonkers when fingers are involved
and....... there went my arm... it flew off during practice... darn 16th notes.

Practicing 16th notes at 300 bpm . Crazy
