Hi Karen --

I haven't forgotten about that email I promised you. I just keep getting distracted!

What exciting thing am I working on now? Well -- it's exciting to me to be getting to the point of playing things right, in tune, and cleanly. To that end, I am working out of the Prestini "Raccolta di Studi per Oboe" -- which I think means, course of study for oboe.

It's ten pages of exercises in every key: two pages of strictly technical exercises in duple, two in triple, two in quadruple, and then four pages of melodic studies. After I mastered (really mastered) each of these reasonably difficult technical studies in just one key, and learned the melodic studies WITH all the dynamics and tempo changes, I can say I had become a different oboist -- nay, a different musician. And THAT is exciting to me. I had plateaued out at an "intermediate advanced" level, and had been there for years, on whatever instrument I was playing. These exercises are taking me where I want -- and need -- to go: to the honest-to-God advanced level of playing that I've never been able to achieve before.

For fun (in my quintet) we are working on the Ibert "Trois Pieces Breves". Gives me a change to apply all the stuff I'm learning to do in Prestini.

Susan
