Part B, Phrase 1
Bowing:
- Most of the notes are short up and down strokes, but you have two long slurs, each taking up the value of three 8th notes.
- On the third note, speed up your bow so you can start the first slur well above the middle of the stick. This will enable you to play the slur and end up near the mid-point instead of down near the frog.
- Do the same on the down stroke that immediately preceeds the second slur.
Fingering:
- The fingers all start out hovering just above the string.
- When the 3rd finger comes down, the other fingers some down to rest on the string as well. That way they are ready to play their respective notes, when the time comes, with minimum effort and movement.
