Has anyone played that piece and Presto after it? I`d appreciate it if you could give techniques related to specific parts of either of them. If you`re a violin teacher, you`ll know what i mean, (i.e., scribbles all over the page!)

I`ve played em through thoroughly...which specific part are u talking about? I am no expert on this, but we can discuss.

Sorry, but which BWV izzit?

Sonata No.1 in G Minor: Fuga & Presto movements.

Oh..I see...Wait, let me take my scores...okie...This was how I used to do it..maynot be the best way...but: Seperate them into voices...so ie, at allegro, bar 1 , step 1 :play D, C, B flat, C, A, B flat, D and B flat together. Play it, hear it , get it even and clear, now articulate it, and register the sound in yr ears...then step 2: play lower notes together, A E, D F sharp, G G, F, E flat, F, D. Play it, hear it, get it even, register the sound.
step 3 : Do together. And take note of chords like the one in Allegro,bar 1,2nd beat...I drew a fingerboard xxxfingering chart just for that...to see clearly where my fingers will end up and how much I`ve to stretch.
So it works for me like that...seperate into voices and drawing finger charts. What about u?

This is real advanced music...If u can play this...U must be really advanced also... So how long have u been fiddling, Pro?

4 years

thanks, i`ll try it

Its coming along. The third and fourth stops are proving tricky to get the bow on the strings.

Happy practicing! ...This is actually a great topic...we hardly see such technical thread. U should start a new thread based on this multi layer,consecutive chord playing thing. We ought to have more technical discussion instead. Jay...if u really really really wanna seek advice from pro, post this topic at stringasylum.tk The pp there are really professional. Let me know when they offer u better advice then mine. thank you.
