Panel-ready practice tips

1.Bruch is a Romantic concerto: panels expect sustained, singing tone with full vibrato. Narrow or light vibrato sounds stylistically wrong here.
2.The opening flourish is technically simple but musically demanding: tempo is free, but the phrase must arc and resolve with conviction.
3.The first theme must feel inevitable, not rehearsed: practice it at different tempos to find the one that feels like a natural speech rhythm.
4.Intonation on the high register passages: check every fingered A against the open string before you run them at tempo.
5.The cadenza at the end of Mvt. I is usually performed. Practice it as a character statement, not a technical exercise.
