Depends on your present state of development, but if you are practicing well you won't really need much warm-up. As a matter of fact, play well when you can without a "warm-up." This happens all the time, you drive to the gig and because of traffic or whatever, you go from the box to the stage and hit it. If you have your imagination really working, have a terrific sound really ringing in your mind a warm-up is not neccessary. Practicing fundamentals early in the day works well, but sometime get up in the middle of the night and play the Hindemith straight through (alert your wife before hand), or do Charlier as your first practice session. If the mind is on, the body responds!
