Hi there,
I have a question for those of you who regularly play full concerts, of moderately challenging material (or more challening....)
Do you have any special techniques for managing the hand fatigue that progressively builds throughout a concert?
I already spend loads of time working on my left hand touch, to the point where it is already very soft, but of course there is a minimum amount the string must be depressed in order to make a clear sound. Now play, bach, villa lobos studies, albeniz transcriptions one after another.....you get the picture....
Now I already have some techinques, like refocus back to deep breathing, constantly monitor and readjust posture, etc.....
I'm starting to think that there really is a point to practicing full run throughs more often.....I used to not be into that b/c I am paranoid about 'learning mistakes'....
