I'm sitting on a sizable pile of pieces that all, to varying degrees, belong in the "unfinished business" category. I'm probably not the only one with this problem, so I wonder: can you recommend any strategies for how to pick up a piece again after not having worked on it for a while and systematically get it performance-ready? I think it must be a different approach from the one you use when learning a piece for the first time. To me, practicing an "old" piece often feels like standing too close to an unfinished painting: it can be hard to tell which parts are good and nearly completed, which ones are still rough and sloppy, and how to make sure they all get the appropriate attention and just the right brushstrokes and varnish. Any suggestions?
