I decided this morning to skip the piano and opted for a few more minutes of sleep. Supposedly that made me feel better. Horribly exhausted from last's night marathon of marimba writing. The piece is finished structurally and harmonically, but I am not so sure about melodic and rhythmic. I'll be listening to it all morning and then in every spare moment I can muster before 4.

My lesson yesterday went well. I felt discouraged that morning because my playing seemed to be declining, but in the lesson he assured me my playing was getting better (finally). All in all a good lesson and excited to see where it puts me in my discovery of Kabalevsky.

Already yawning. Full day of writing ahead.
