Minutes for February 20th

Where: The Hughes Residence, Somerville
Who: Glenn, Mary Beth, David and Dev

Glenn, Mary Beth and I worked on the 16 bar exercise while waiting for Dev. Once Dev arrived, we worked on various pieces that MB knew. We worked on the Bartok piece, with Dev and I clearing up some things during the diminshed section. We moved on to Eye of the Needle, followed by The Moving Force; especially to clarify the bass in order to play it without being so dependent on Dev's cue-ing. We then worked on Asturias, mentioning that the "high" twinkly needs to wait "an apropriate amount if time" before coming in, as it signals the re-entrance of the main melody. We concluded the evening with some circulations, which I thought were quite musical at times, and also had a firm tempo to them.
