Today was the second day with my final piece. I am now able to play most of it through. I am still having trouble with some of the higher notes and it seems that whenever i play high my first valve gets stuck even with fresh valve oil. The solution to this problem is find alternate fingerings which i have already done and use them instead.
I am starting to take a look at the dynamics now. I am finding that the composer uses very gradual dynamic changes, from piano (quiet) to mezzo piano (soft) to mezzo forte (moderate) to forte (loud), to build up the intensity and then suddenly drops it down to piano again and build its back up again until the very end of the song where he makes it pianissimo (quiet as possible).
This will take a bit of discipline to keep myself from rushing the changes and making sure i stay consistent with my dynamics.
The tempo is marked as Marcia Marcato which means very pointed and accented. Through the first 10 bars all the notes are either staccotoed or accented. In bar eleven it says Sempre Staccato which mean staccato throughout. i will have to keep both of these in mind when I record so that it will sound good with the accompaniment.
