Shylene... You might be able to find someone who has the Vivace
computer system. This is a system that has accompaniments and the
computer follows the soloist. There is an excellent accompaniment on
the system for the Hindemith. The system is kinda pricey for an
individual to use I guess, but perhaps not really if one intends to
practice for 10 years as you mention.

An alternative would be to find someone with the Vivace system and make
a cassette recording of the accompaniment. The system is set up to
easily allow for patching through a cassette recorder. There might
be some ethical considerations here, but I'll let you sort those out.

I have no ties with this company, but I've had a chance to try this
system, and I think it works great. So there! ;)

best wishes
