Practice Journal: A break from relaxing to concentrate on tuning


 A brief respite from the Quantz Capricen finger relaxation exercises we've been doing: Number 14, Minuetto in Bb (3/4), and number 18, Capricie III in F (C).

Yes, the goal of the previous Quantz etudes is to relax the fingers and see how little they need to move and how soft they can be while playing the pieces. The tw
o new numbers are also for relaxing but also for helping you tune certain intervals between particular notes which may or may not be cooperative under the best of circumstances. 


"If it were easy, anyone could do it."
