I’m nowhere near , but it’s a start. Aside from the trills. Those sucked 😂. Also — to my string player friends for the blasphemy.

Not perfect, but real. The first movement of the Telemann used to be a test of strength for me. But now it’s a chance to exercise my heart and soul. I played this four times without too many breaks before deciding to record it because I know staying committed to the music overcomes my endurance concerns.

Some more work on the Peskin. This new Yamaha Chicago BR B♭ plays so easily. I’ve never loved playing a B♭ so much. I feel like it’s an extension of my imagination.
