Just a quick update on my progress today. I got a late start, and was feeling discouraged, but I ended up making some good progress :-)
Memory progress as of 6/24/11:
Liszt: 6.1/9 pages or 68%
Beethoven: 5.3/11 pages or 48%
Ginastera Mvt 1: 1/7 pages or 14%
Ginastera Mvt 2: 7/7 pages or 100% MEMORIZED!
Ginastera Mvt 4: MEMORIZED
Ravel Waltz 1: 2.6/3.5 pages or 74%
2 of 4 movements of Ginastera are memorized, and I finally felt somewhat comfortable playing through what I've learned of the Ravel so far. Hopefully it will get a bit easier after Waltz No.1.
You pianists that also have back trouble from practicing, any advice?
Advice for back pain=yoga!!
