Exercises for Campagnoli - Etude #6 from 41 Caprices, Op. 22
IN THIS LESSON
ONE BOW TRICK WE USE A FEW TIMES IN CAMPAGNOLI 6 REQUIRES SUSTAINING ONE STRING WHILE RHYTHMICALLY PLAYING ANOTHER.
Play the sustained note with your elbow on the high side, so you will not have to move far to play the second string note on beats 3 and 4. Focus on reaching the second string with this arm level, and not by adding much weight.
We'll begin by practicing this technique at both full and quiet volumes.
Then, we'll incorporate the challenge of executing a two-measure swell (Letter C) and a one-measure swell (Letter D) simultaneously.
Achieving a smooth dynamic arc like this requires mastering your bow speed, to ensure you don't run out of bow.
