Finally recorded the fugue — took three weeks and one very stubborn wrist

Spent the evening in the practice room with the last movement of the Bach I've been nursing for weeks. The thing that unlocked it wasn't the metronome or slow practice — it was finally letting my left hand lead instead of follow. Sounded like a conversation instead of a race for the first time. Saved it to tape, which I almost never do, because I know I'll want to hear where I was.
