Grows: I need to work on the two runs with a metronome, and with different rhythms to fully enhance all the notes. I want my bow changed to be smoother (less squeaking, percussion of strings). Lastly, I want to listen to the song more to gain a better interpretation.

I think I did a fair job with bow distribution towards the end with notes I’m more confident playing.

I think my dynamics are played well but I could shape the piece in the parts there aren’t dynamics. I should also watch my shifting the second time I shift to A because I tend to forget. When I am playing descaling notes I should hold all of my fingers down so I don’t have to worry about putting them down by the next note, this will help for faster tempos.

I need to get better at reading rhythms and working with a metronome. I find myself very lost when playing the rhythms of this piece. I will make sure to look at the rhythms closely in the future (speaking them out loud) and working with a metronome when I practice.

There are also some intonation spots that I need to work on by using a drone, especially right before the harmonics.

There were a few little hiccups, but nothing too major in terms of intonation. My articulation at the start was fine.

Grow: I really need to play my dynamics in this section, which I DIDN'T do. So I should really focus on that. Also, I notice I keep inching up towards the tip of my bow, and I want to avoid that. The way I could fix that is just by distributing my bow more efficiently. Also, I want to make the overall section more clean. I also want to really make my grace notes more articulated.
