• use a metronome for the a tempo passages to check for correct speed

• ritardando and a tempo alternating

• know minor and major third relationship • for sixths know the half.-step/whole... step relationship • (see Appendix A, #1 )

• double stops; thirds and sixths

• (see Etude No.3)

• triple stops

• sixteenth note passage in high position

.double or triple stop down bow with three slurred sixteenths up bow (see Appendix A, #2)

• the whipped or fouette bowing may be an effective bowing to use; it is derived from the accented detache, but here the accent is produced by quickly (and barely) lifting the bow off the string and striking it down again with suddenness and energy.

• the sixteenths can be executed using the portato or loure bowing

• omit the upper mordent during the first few playings; when accurately executed, add the ornament

• keep bow movement between strings minimal; the bow should be close to the string it is approaching • coordination problems created by fast passages with string crossings can best be approached by first isolating the string... change pattern and then practicing it on the open strings.

• string crossings
