Paganini Caprice#1 Viola

[ViolaWizardry]

Hhmmmm....Fabulous. You have proved to the viola community that these Caprices are indeed playable in the right hands.

Tell me, in the opening few bars, it looks like you are managing to keep your 4th finger down (and the other fingers). I am trying to learn this at the moment, but really can't seem to do that. My viola is 16" and I am female. Keep trying, I guess!

@ViolaWizardry Hey, thanks for watching it, I have kind of a long 4th finger which helps, there must be a way to do it without though, maybe try rocking arm a bit more under the instrument to elongate the 4th finger? Thanks for the kind words

Качество звука оставляет желать лучшего, многих нот вообще не слышно ,хотя конечно это довольно хороший уровень для любительской записи.

[AlastairBrownViolist]

I have no idea what this says, I hope it is good. Any translators out there?
