When I get home at about 5:20 PM, I do scales over 7 1/2 octaves, then arpeggii over 7 1/2 octaves (on piano), accenting every 3, or 4, changhing, loudly, softly, staccato, legato, then trills, then thirds, and then some Isodor Phillip very slowly for arm and control. My guide is Piano Technique by Lillie Philipp. Then , practice. Now I am memorizing a little piece, Modern Love Waltz, by Phillip Glass. Also practicing Sports and Divertisements by Satie. My own music will be coming in soon, again. Looking at the score would help, but I don't budget time for it. Last night I documented Ciccolini's tempi on the Satie for guidance, off the record with a metronome. Tom Fri 9-Nov-1984 09:58 EST
