Chapter 3 Technical Mastery and Skill Development - Part 1 (4 videos)
We are now ready to start mastering the demanding technical elements of the concerto.
Focus Areas:
Left-hand technique:
- Intonation drills for high-register passages, double stops, and chromatic runs.
- Finger exercises to improve agility, shifting, and position changes.
Right-hand technique:
- Bow control for legato phrasing and nuanced dynamics.
- Spiccato and staccato practice for rapid passages (e.g., third movement’s Allegro vivacissimo).
- Balancing technique with musicality: Emphasize clean execution while maintaining expressiveness and tone quality.
