Any tonebase lessons on polishing for performance?
Has anyone seen any tonebase lessons on getting the final polish on pieces to be performed? I'm 5 weeks out from giving a recital and always looking for ways to maximize my efforts instead of brainlessly just playing it over and over. Each day when I practice I challenge myself to look/listen deeper and find something new. But I could use ideas.

Angela French I learned a really valuable tip from my studies with Lilian Kallir. As she got close to a performance, she practiced slightly under tempo and under dynamics. What happens is that any section that needs work gets exposed, allowing you to isolate those parts. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

I don't know if you've already done this, but playing everything as individual voices in isolation and then pairing them in different combinations can be really helpful for noticing new aspects of the music, experimenting with voicing, etc.
