Today i put in an hour and a half, i worked my Clarke studies #2 trying to get them under one breath got a few mainly c g f and b flat but the others i only get through about 1 and half way through the repeat and need to breathe. Did all minor scales chromatically needed a few attempts at f sharp minor and g sharp minor. Worked the Bourdogni transposition study number two tried to get the part where it moves into a fifth above. Did Charlier studies 1, 2 and 14. For 1 I was trying to get that one articulation down, 2 I have just started doing and fourteen im trying to speed it up so it doesnt take 4 minutes to get throuhg. Finally worked the Handel Sonata with the recording to try and get it nice and even, it was a little harder when done faster.
