Music Practice 6

I apparently didn't make my previous posts detailed enough. Sometimes I just sit down and play for fun, just to keep my mouth muscles working. I don't always sit down with the intention of just practicing one part.
I played Geronimo for about 20 minutes. I worked on bars 157 to 194, and the scale at the end of Rumble on the High Plains. I mainly worked on dynamics and on smoothness of notes. Sometimes I find it hard to connect notes smoothly in a slur, because of the keys. So I worked on making them smooth and even. As well I worked on tone colour a little bit.
I also played through movement one of The Aviator, Icarus, because I really like the running sixteenth notes. I think working on those passages will help me increase my finger speed. As well, I wanted to work on reading the notes, especially when they go by so fast.
