Just an update - been working on my shifts - honestly!   Trying to  make sure my elbow leads (it really does work) - and in Maria Luisa interestingly It helps if I have my thumb lead on the I-V shift. Weird. Still trying not to tense up when those shifts are coming though. If only there was some  mantra I could think of  that would make me relax (unfortunately as soon as I think about relaxing I tense up - go figure!). Anyway the De Visee prelude is benefiting from working on it slowly - it's definitely getting closer to where I want it.  Soon it will be time to  think of a new piece to learn though I will be working on this and Maria Luisa for a while yet.

I decided to spend a couple of weeks relearning a few of the things I forgot while I was resting my arm. So that's it for the time being☺️
