suzuki book 1 piece 17 ( in my book) Gmaj, cut time. very difficult piece for me since it hops strings so much and the second half has those 16th note runs. You are doing great, maintain the slow pace until you cant make a mistake and gradually increase speed. I just cant move my fingers, bow and brain that fast yet.

 

That being said have you played any of the other pieces in the book or are you starting in the back and working towards the front? The down bows are marked at the beginning of each measure in my book, but if you sourced the piece from somewhere else that might be different. The majority of the notes in my book are staccatto. But it sounded more like arco when you played it, dunno if its because you slowed it down? Minuet 2 has similar string changes and some triplets, have you played that yet? I can email you a copy of what I have also if it would help with the notations.?

If I can help in anyway let me know.

Helping you just might help me!

 

Hi Pfish, thank you for your review I am not familiar with the suzuki pieces i found this one the web. I dont know how to do stacatto or spicatto yet so i just bowed the groups like regular eight notes. Sure email me im open to trying new things.
