 Re: Missing easy notes

A week or two before I performed the Weber Concertino I was suddenly having tremendous issues going down to the lower clarion C# the turns near the beginning. At first I thought perhaps a key was fluttering open, but this was not the case. Once the problem happened a few times I got into a mental state where it persisted. I actually decided to perform those turns with the LH instead a few days before the concert and practiced them that way. So, you are not alone in having a possible block about something you should be able to play.

Your post is titled "missing easy notes" rather than "probems with tricky section", but then you talk about practicing the more complex bits. I find that my students will sometimes woodshed the hard parts but forget to count their longer notes. Of course, the solution is different for the easy and the difficult. If you are indeed having difficulty with the tricky parts, practice with different rhythms or with a completely different style and/or articulation to derail whatever negative patterns have been established. If it is indeed the easy parts, focus in on how your part fits in with what the other players are doing, but don't wait for them to play their note as your cue. Rather anticipate where there note is going to be so you are not late and are in rhythm

Best of luck!
