Should i move my ankle upwards when changing string for G note or does it have to do with the wrist. Are there any videos or exercise that'll help me in improving my notes when playing this particular section. It gets all random and i miss some notes like coming back straight to D instead of C. I can do it slowly but as i increase my pace it starts to make annoying notes in between. Anyone familiar with this piece who could help? I lack the consistency of playing CGCD same way four times.

Which movement of the Four Seasons are you referring too?
I think you mean elbow rather than ankle. You would have an easier time if you brought your elbow under the violin or more to the right when on the G string for sure.

So do I! You should definitely listen to him playing Summer presto four seasons. Spring Four seasons is very nice as well. It's amazing how you can understand what the composer is thinking while writing it down and the feeling, that's perfectly illustrative of the different seasons, is very light heartening.

It's the "Winter" movement, and the first 25 seconds they are playing trills with the left hand fingers.
You put one down solid and the next finger goes up and down very rapidly.

haha my topic does say Winter four seasons, umm i know about the left hand, i'm asking for string crosinng practice i.e bow exercses to change strings quickly. Moreover as far left hand is concerned when i raise my 2 finger their is an extra note that comes out of me getting my finger up! I guess i'll just have to keep practising:P But thanks for replying

I knew I wasn't crazy. LOL
Only if the part alternates between the strings evenly. If it is an uneven change such as the one you are referring to, it won't work with the hand rotation. I still can't find the spot you are referring to though in the first 0:25 seconds.
For example Perpetuum Mobile. It starts in 3rd position with the 1st finger repeatedly playing the D and the other notes on the A string. Perfect for the rolling, or up and down wrist movement.:

@coolpinkone - you'd need to make 4 quilts - one for each season
It's Mr Jim:) I can't seem to play it:( Can you?
@violony - I don't find a problem with it.
You could simplify things a bit. Have a look here : I made up a little isolation exercise for you - it's exactly the same bowing, just starting on a open A instead of on C in 2nd position. See how you go with that :
