So with all that to work on, what am I doing? I sometimes find it hard to focus on things when I have so many pieces to work on. I usually have to make a list and just focus on a couple of things in each session. It really depends on where I am in the piece. If I'm just learning it, then I can really only focus on one or two things in a session. If I know the piece and am only working on small issues, then I can plow through several small issues in multiple pieces.

Today I worked on the second half of the Berio Sequenza and then worked on the interpretations for the first page of the Bach partita as well as playing through half of both the minor and major scales in fourths. My hand is hurting today, I'm going to have to stop for the evening and work on some other school work.

For some reason today, I feel like I am biting more than usual, it's making my mouth tired. It could be from the marathon parade the bagpipe band did this morning in the rain. I thing I am also getting an abcess from a cut in my mouth. It doesn't bother me when I play, but I am worried that it could be impacting me in the near future.
