Study Op. 25, No. 6

Studies - Etude - Étude$$$$$$This Study Op. 25, No. 6 by Richard Hofmann was originally composed for the violin in the key of C Major.

This score is a transcription for violin set in the key of F Major.

This study is excellent for developing détaché bowing as well as for practicing various other bowing patterns.

The violist should try to keep the fingers close to the fingerboard as he plays this study.

In particular, the fourth finger should remain above the strings at all times.

This study ought to be practiced first with short strokes in the middle of the bow.

Then, the violist can use broader strokes or even the whole bow in order to produce a louder tone.$$$$$$Duration : 01:46$$$$$$Source : Richard Hofmann, The First Studies for Violin, Op. 25.$$$$$$Undefined
