D major 2 octaves make sure the elbow is leading the way for the string crossings D drone Arpeggio keep arm higher for Fsharp on the C string move thumb for extension point left arm forward on lower string for extension G major 2 octaves 4th position: fsharp closer to G make sure fingers nice and tall after shift keep [...]
G major get the weight out of the string for descending shift practice slower, land with tall fingers Fsharp closer to G in 4th position practice D to E and E to D. Listening for the shift and the intonation. then go faster Arpeggio work on keeping the bow moving, smootha dn continuous save the bow, slow bow anticipate string [...]
