How to practise this piece
Take it at 77 BPM first, then move up to 96 once the notes sit under your fingers.
What this piece trains
Speed with clarity: fast but never smeared.
Where it usually goes wrong
Above a certain tempo the notes glue together because the bow never leaves the string.
Does it need shifting?
Range C4–A♯5; the top notes go beyond comfortable first position, so expect shifting or an extension.
Practice steps
- Play at 76 with every note cleanly articulated.
- Add speed in small steps; drop back a notch the moment it blurs.
