I am working on Hunter's Chorus by Weber for the 35 Day Challenge. It can be found in Suzuki Book 2. 

Right now, I am working on the first section. I can't quite figure out how the bowing should be done. Because of that, I keep doing it differently each time. I need to figure out the proper way and stick to that. 

I am trying to find the best way to get those 16th(?) not runs and the staccatos. 

Has anyone here done Hunter's Chorus by Weber? If you have, how were you doing the bow strokes?

There are no stroke notations on the music in my Suzuki book. I have seen it with it starting with an upstroke with the pickup and then a down stroke, followed by the run of four 16th notes using the up stroke. I find that I am not quite positive how it is to be done when I do it, and I start thinking about that and the rest of the bowing goes crazy. Then I start it with the down stroke, but that doesn't seem right. so I second guess myself again, and get myself messed up once again. I just have no confidence that I am doing it right, either way. I don't have this piece in any other book that I have.

There are videos. Quite honestly, for the most part, I have given up on videos. They are usually played too fast, or not videoed so I can see. I am better off seeing the markings for the bowing on sheet music rather than trying to figure it out from a video.

I don't know my issue with videos, but I really do better looking at the sheet music and learning the piece. So, I know there are videos out there. I can watch to get the nuances after I have figured it out, but, as far as learning from a video, does not work.

Thanks for anyone here who can help.
