Bars 25-53 is probably the hardest part in my solo.  There are a lot more rests than in the other parts of this piece.  The time signature changed from 6/8 to 2/4.  There is also a coda which, is difficult to play.
Bars 17-24 are similar to bars 9-17.  I have to look for the forte on bar 19 and remember to play the dynamics properly.
I'd say that bars 9-17 is the easiest part of my solo.  It includes some dynamics and crescendo's and decrescendo's.  I have too make sure I remember the sharps and naturals on some of the notes.
The piano accompaniment is being played from bars 1-9 to start off this piece.  I don't start playing until just before bar 9.
  My solo is called "Garnet" and was written by Vander Cook.  From bars 1-29, it is played in 6/8 time, with some dynamics which include; mp, p, and mf.  It is played as andante and has a 3 bar rest from measures 25-28.  The second part of this piece is played as moderato and with a 2/4 time signature.  There is a 7 bar rest from measures 45-52.  There is also a coda with many different dynamics, like; p, mp, mf, and f.
