haven't been taking too many notes over summer by virtue of the time of year, so im just. posting on this account again with some progress on the pieces ive been working on this summer!! (not pictured: tchaik's nur wer die sehnsucht kennt)
With a single change in annotation, the sentence's tone changes a fair amount. when you write anything over a passage—a fingering, a breath mark, a diminuendo—you change the passage's emotion. It doesn't matter if the change is tiny or huge; what matters is that a change inevitably happens. Your eyes, mind, and ears risk incorporating your markings so thoroughly that you may forget that the score existed in a different state before you intervened. Keep an unmarked copy of every score you study, and mark photocopies or duplicate scores instead. This allows you to go back to the unmarked score and look at it with fresh eyes. It may be a good idea to annotate a study score thoroughly, and then perform the piece using an unmarked score.

I spent six hours in the practice room today. None of that was on my primary instrument. I feel incredibly guilty, but I also feel like I don't want to fail out of conducting sooooo yeah.

7/20/17: today's study is Brahm's and his Symphony No. 4 in e minor
I'm taking this week and a bit of next week off from the practice challenge (as moving is consuming my life rn) and I figure I'd benefit from more academic/listening studies during this process since packing is incredibly crippling😓 7/17/17: This is a partial view of my listening log from the beginning of the summer, I try to get in an excerpt a day (or at least every 3 days). Today's recording is Brahms's Symphony 4 in e minor, specifically the Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Haitink. I used to be bad about not actively listening so I keep track of what I listen to in a journal, and if I have the score I'll make notes of the contrasting styles/performances.
