Project Update 11/7/11

At this point, I am pretty much ready to record my project.  I think I will record it in groups of three pages and edit it so it flows smoothly.  I've got it to an acceptable tempo (for the one really fast 32-note+ part I decided to to 'falls' from the first note - where I hit the note and then chromatic down quickly w/a decrescendo). 

The biggest problem I am having is fingering, now that I've got it up to tempo.  I can finger the slow parts fine on the trumpet, but since I am holding it with one hand and pushing the valves down with the middle part of my fingers, fast parts sound a bit sloppy.  I'm working on those as best I can, although they may just be more staccato as my tongue will cover up my finger movement. 

Finally, I'm not sure of the best way to record it. I could just do it from one angle, but I think that I am going to move the camera around when I turn pages to make it a little more interesting.  It'll also be good to re-familiarize myself with iMovie '11.
