#violinpractice #violinshifting on large and challenging intervals. #practiceroom demonstration with excerpt from #concertoingminor #violinconcerto by #antoniovivaldi found in #suzukiviolinmethod #suzukibook5 #adagio 1) Play without the shift, to establish an expectation of the correct pitch. Both of the shifts demonstrated are diminished 7ths which sound like major 6ths, so the fingers will form a measured whole step or two half steps across this interval. ~swipe left~ 2) Now practice the performance fingering with shifting up the A string. Sing the shift destination note out loud before playing to ensure it is present in the mind. ~swipe left~ 3) Performance version with #expressive fingering shifting on the A string. Many players will choose not to shift on these notes, which may me more in line with period performance practice. I find shifting on the A string in this passage creates an #expressivebeauty in the sound and phrasing! #suzukiviolinteacher #vivaldi #vivaldiconcerto #vivaldiviolinconcerto #beautifulmusic #baroquemusiclovers #baroquemusic #violinlesson #violinclass #violinteacher #loveviolin #violinguy #violinpedagogy #violintechnique (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJ6vAZgJxF/?utm_medium=tumblr
