Bombsquad brass knuckle foot stop4/6/2023 Shifting with the same bow or the next bow.with the old finger or with the new finger.There are two aspects involved with shifting: SHIFTING THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW WAY – WITH 1 FINGER: Passive soft fingers are with gentle fingers on the strings landing softly without too much or too little pressure. These are required in quick legatos, in rapid passages. Placement of the fingers on the string requires careful study of the music.Īctive percussive fingers are when the fingers hammer down clearly and firmly on the strings with firm pressure. ![]() FINGER PRESSURE ON THE STRINGS – too little and too much: This movement of the left elbow is practiced in anticipation of the sequence in mind.ĩ. This improves anticipation, accurate placement of the fingers and hence intonation. It is a good habit to lean into the shift while ascending and descending various positions. And the elbow to move down while one is descending from a higher position. In rapid passages, anticipation of this movement is necessary to get accurate intonation.Īnother action of the elbow is to move up while shifting up. As one goes down from the E string, the elbow has to swing from left to right so that finally fingering on G string is easy. The elbow has the action of swinging from left to right while playing from E to G strings. Practicing scales is useful to acquire this skill. The wrist can be verified to be in line with the forearm.Įach scale does have the hand frame for the 4 fingers and this mental picture is useful while playing rapidly. The angle of the elbow is triangle for the upper bow which can be observed in a mirror. Ideal position of left wrist is neutral between the flexion and extension. Left hand should not have undue tension between fingers. The left hand should face the finger board so the fingers (and the left knuckle ) align with the violin strings. The wrist is sometimes wrongly position at right angles to the finger board the hand wrongly faces the violinist. Violinist with long fingers can have the knuckle lower down with respect to the neck of the instrument and the elbow to the left. Violinist with short fingers needs to oppose the knuckle closer to the neck of the instrument and keep the elbow to the right. This slant is neither too steep nor too slanting.Īs the wrist comes around the violin neck, the tips of fingers generally have a tendency to bear towards the E string side of the finger board. Tip of finger also slats towards towards the bridge. Tip of finger falls usually perpendicularly in a square fashion or elongated fashion the lower position.Įlongated fashion is used in half step from square position, gliding or high positions. This is important in the intonation and unlike guitar with frets, is more difficult in violin. The point of contact between the finger and the string is the finger tip. **PIP joint-Proximal inter phalangeal joint.ģ. To have the vertical positioning of finger tips, it is important to align the left knuckle in line with the strings and high so the fingers will drop down from above on the strings. The actual movement of the 1 to 4 fingers of the left hand is not at the level of the base (not at MP *joint) but at the level of the last 2 joints ( PIP **joint). ![]()
