[BeautifulMusic1000]

this song just makes me want to sway along with the music and I'm currently learning this song so I think I'll play off of this. Thanks!!

You should post a video of you playing it once you get it down.

[BeautifulMusic1000]

Same here, I'm also practicing this song. My instructor gave me II/III/IV fingerings for certain lines... And yes, I said fingerings... Don't immature about it!

Fritz frequented 2nd position and for most of us, that's hard. Let us take heed, and learn from such a master as our Fritz. 1 to 3 isn't always the way to go. Sweet tones abound on D instead of A. Don't forget Me!! i'm in u'r horse hair & catgut!!

Vanslonski thanks for the great comments on the technique of one of the true masters of the violin. I will be posting more in the future.

[vanslonski220]

dude rocks!! You know, Fritz prefered second position in his fingering. So, a lot of his shifts are lovely slushslids, to it. If you can dig it. Sweet, pure and true. No one can sing like Fritz. No one. Periode. [.]
