Chopin Scherzo 3
Trying to be more ok with things not sounding good, or polished.
It feels very vulnerable sharing clips like these online, but as an experiment today, I decided to leave the camera rolling while practicing and upload a random segment of it. Maybe I will feel about it afterwards…
I think my perfectionism and anxiety is getting worse and worse, and it was so hard resisting the urge to record a new clip with no wrong notes lol

Bringing the chorale up to speed but struggling to keep it “leggierissimo”😭😭😭Back to slow practice and rhythms it is!
Also trying to play without looking at the score too much, it tends to distract me and I do have many passages memorized already just from repetition, but I tend to forget the “in between” passages which leads to some random pauses as I try to find where I am in the music hahaha

Also included some octaves cuz they’re fun😛

Not much time to practice today, mainly just reviewed parts of the Sonata I already learned, and then some more passagework for Chopin Scherzo 3

Did a random pull of the Massachusetts crate to try for the legendary commander but got this dude instead.

Scherzo 3 coda. It is hard to stay synced to metronome when it’s 1 tick per bar.

At around 170 bpm or so I switched from quarters to dotted half note per tick of the metronome. This is 60 bpm.

Shout out to my family for the patience of listening to 2 hrs of “tick-tick-tick…”

Just finished my first practice session, managed to (sorta?) learn up to the first repeat (mm.125a) after about 2.5 hours.

My only thought was “I’ve been playing for 5 minutes and the first movement is only half done???” (1/4 done if I play the repeat…)

Not sure if I have the stamina or mental capacity to pull off a 40 minute sonata LMAO but it’s too beautiful to not at least try.

Had to crop the video cuz I was unable to upload one that’s longer.

Schumann — Arabeske, op. 18

This piece for me was the gateway to more advanced music as a child. I had always struggled with having really stiff wrists and not understanding the small circular motions people meant when talking about having a “flexible wrist,” until my teacher had the great idea of assigning this piece to me, to learn exactly that. The phrasing lined up perfectly with each little motion, and I remember how much of a “eureka” moment that felt for me. I still look back on it fondly and play it from time to time; it’s a lovely piece. I highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t played it yet!

So a couple weeks ago I got the mythic cafe board in 10 pulls,

And today I did 20 more pulls to try my luck on the Annie Chibi mythic. I got nothing from the first 10, but pulled her NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!!!! Went from 1 medallion to 11! I’m a pretty casual player but I’m def spamming games every day now I’m so happy😍😍

I bought the BP for the first time ever and it gave me some of that pull currency. I saw this rly cute arena pop up and thought “why not try a pull” and managed to save myself a few hundred dollars, and on my bday too! I’m so happy~~

These are the notes I wrote down while trying shoes on for over an hour today. (For context, I am a man somewhat wide-ish feet with really shallow/small heels).

Where I live, shoes and sizes are extremely limited so I had to drive over an hour to this shop that had the various shoes I heard were good for my foot shape from researching online. The shoes I tried last ended up being the perfect fit! Highly recommend Instinct VSWs to anyone with smaller heels!!

Can’t wait to receive my order and climb with them🎉🎉
