Emmmz... I`m playing the Grade 5 pieces for violin by the AMEB... I`m playing this Etude by Kayser - Study No.24 from 36 Etuden fur Violine Op.20... And I cannot seem to get my staccato bowing right! Whenever I play it strongly, the bow always bounces too fast and I go out of time and/or I always brush against other strings, making weird sound effects and extra notes sound... And when I try playing carefully so as not to sound the extra notes, the staccato comes out weak and I also go out of time... The staccato needed is in the lower half of the bow... Any tips to practise in playing this staccato in the lower half?
