Day 2 of your cycle· plan suggests this

Lyrical day — Scheherazade & Brahms ~77 min · 14 steps

Singing tone, high-position tuning, gentle on the body. A good day after a hard one, or when your back's a bit sore.

  • Morning back check
  • Physio set (2×10)
  • Warm up — open strings, slow full bows, long tones; relaxed, back-aware 6m
  • Scales & arpeggios — 3 octaves in today's key; then slow double-stops (thirds, sixths, octaves) for intonation 8m
  • Left-hand drill — Schradieck or Ševčík op.1, a few patterns, even and relaxed 4m
  • Étude — a sustained-tone / shifting study (Kreutzer 11 or sons filés) for the singing line. Skip if the back or time is tight 8m
  • Ease in — slow whole-bows, shifts into upper positions, tuning against a high-position drone 4m
  • Scheherazade II solo (mm 1–5) — rubato, no click: phrasing, colour, free but in control 18m
  • Quick break 3m
  • Brahms 1, mvt II (E→end) — phrase shape, bow plan, in-tune singing line at about ♩=84 18m
  • Quick break 3m
  • Log today's session
  • Note how the two pieces went — tuning and expression
  • Back check after playing
