Well, I'm off practicing for a few days...
on: July 02, 2005, 09:20:16 AM
Another one of those injuries caused by massive caffeine overdose, combined with running in the dark while blind. I predict at least 3 days without RH use (I'm typing with LH only right now, I'm so talented I'm at like 40 words per minute!). So... anyone have links to some nice, LH-only repertoire (preferably free online stuff)?

Don't Ravel have a left hand concerto?  ;D

It takes more than a few days to learn, I think.

Hehe, that's probably very true.

But there's no saying you can't still be learning it even when your right hand has recovered?    :D

I can't think of anything else though... Perhaps just take a few days off completely...? Don't know how much you like the idea about that.. But it's good to have a complete rest a few days, sometimes...

Not to disappoint anyone, but my finger is almost fully recovered - I'm back to being two-handed.

Sorry!

wow three days down to two hours, that's quite a miraculous recovery, you must have quite some powers of rehabilitation.  It's probably the mulititude of prayers sent out to you by the people who read this post.  Well by Joachim anyway, maybe he's a saint, lol.
