@07843827259 hahaaa, so, i played this faster, and, my teacher complained at me. :L fail much? :L
-
@SarahScrew well its not meant to be too slow. Set your metronome to Moderato. Remember that it is supposed to be a dance with SOME energy lol
-
actually, you should listen here ^_^
Bowing close to the finger board will reduce resistance, but the sound quality will suffer. especially in upper positions.
-
actually you should listen to this here -.-
the distance from the bow and fingerboard give different sounds and different strengths and weaknesses. for example for a slow song like Le Cygne where it requires long bow, you would bow closer to the bridge.
when you require swift jumpy-like movement and sound it is better to play closer to the fingerboard as the resistance is slight to non.

great job. i only have one tiny critical comment. Get the bow closer to the bridge man!!! up where it is you're missing out on alot of clarity of sound. beautiful interpretation



If I had a nickle for evey time someone posts that. Exactly what speed should it go? Bach didn't include any guidance.
