June 5, 2020--Practice blog in the time of the virus

Lots of activity today. Started out with some piano practice before going to a doctor's appointment. Came home take care of things around the house until 1 pm. I had my first haircut in 10 weeks! Oh, the excitement! Went to church to practice for a little while before running to the store for groceries (properly masked) and came home. Got about a two mile walk in before starting dinner of hamburgers, fries, and roasted zucchini. Had a Zoom meeting for the last 45 minutes and am now looking forward to sitting down to do some reading or watching tv.

On the piano, I worked on an arrangement of Down to the River to Pray by Mark Hayes to be used as a postlude on Sunday. I also worked on some more memory work on Schumann's Traumerei and played through some other pieces.

On the organ, I recorded Kauffmann's Ein Feste Burg from the book I received from @partitura. I also worked on BWV 633 (Prelude for this week), Tim Knight's Scherzo for flutes, and began work on Guilmant's Magnificat Op. 41 no. 2.

That's a very nice performance of Kauffmann's Ein feste Burg. I find it fascintaing that writing in triplets or ternary rythm (what's the correct English expression?) somehow brings out the best in Kauffmann.

It does give it a dance-like feel. I also loved the little chromaticisms he used at the beginning of the B section. I need to get Hauptwerk so I can try it out with Mean-tone tuning.
