Milestone log

Violin

I love playing the violin. This page is the breakthrough log — every milestone worth marking on the long climb.

The end goal

Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35

Tchaikovsky offered the dedication to the violinist Leopold Auer, who called the piece unplayable and refused to premiere it. The world has disagreed ever since.

Every milestone below is a step on that climb.

Breakthroughs

Repertoire

Started Rameau's Gavotte

Picking up Rameau's Gavotte for repertoire — a Baroque dance form, and a chance to work on style and phrasing alongside the technical études.

Study

Started Kreutzer Étude No. 3

The first day on Kreutzer's foundational technical études — beginning with No. 3. A long road, but the right one.
