#fastfingers #violinpractice🎻 In #fastviolin passages such as this famous “lick” from #czardas by #vittoriomonti it’s easy for the #lefthand fingers to get behind the motion of the bow. I practice “leading” with the left hand and having the bow simply “ride along” as follows: 2 videos: 1) Practice only with the left hand (no bow). Listen to each note as a “pitter patter” Economize the motion and avoid hammering the strings. The left hand fingers should move swiftly but remain as close to the strings as possible when lifted. ~swipe left~ 2) Performance version - bow comes along for the ride. Keep the focus on leading with the left hand. #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #violinteacher #violinvirtuoso #violinguy #violinfun #gypsyviolin #monticzardas #czardasmonti #fastviolin #stringpedagogy #practiceroom #40hrs #dailyviolin #violinpractice #violintips #stringplayer #violatechnique #cellotechnique (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/willhurdstrings/p/CXMRfWyL2Al/?utm_medium=tumblr
