a very eye opening practise today.
i was revisiting Clarke and Bloch, both i first studied when i was still using the undersize viola, Tiger.
SOOOOOOOOOoooooooo different!
everything was easier, and everything was harder.
i finally understand why Scott said i was pressing... it's because i had this real viola sound in my head but Tiger's not able to give it to me.
so now with Daemon, everything sounded just right.
but then the spacing is larger, and i'm using old habits. so chords are definitely harder to produce with Daemon.
i'll have to relearn all my old pieces.
tomorrow i'll look over the Brahms sonatas and see how bad they are.
sure they'll sound great though!
still waiting for my musafia case. it's been 6 months and counting.
sigh...
yeah...the prob with revisiting old songs is that old habits (though you hardly do it anymore on new rep) somehow comes back through muscle memory.
ReplyDeletenow that's when i wish my limbs get amnesia, or brainwashed, except they have no brain, and my brain controls them.
so i just keep learning new pieces
