The Schumann Scherzo videos, part 1

I'm excited! This is the beginning of a project I've been imagining for a while now: an online collection of videos dedicated to the orchestral excerpts. I've always loved William Preucil's CD of selected excerpts, but I've often wished that I could see just how he was doing what he was doing! Today I took out my Panasonic Lumix LX5 and put together a Schumann Scherzo. Here's the video, below which you can download PDFs of my actual part, with bowings and fingerings.

The plan for each excerpt is to have multiple videos linked by explanatory text, as close to an online masterclass as possible. All the while you have access to the music. I hope you'll write and let me know what you'd like to see more (or less) of in these videos, as well as your requests for which excerpts to cover!
