[@rapperslashactor]

Learning this now. How do I finger a low G, E-natural, and B-flat chord?? My fingers are too fat!

[@billy7951]

Low 1 for Bb and 2nd finger over it for e

How to get a Telemann fantasy into a paganini caprice, I prefer the baroque style, but I enjoyed it too much, nice job.

[@user-jh4gr1pq1w]

Yeah, it sounds overly romantic with that vibrato, but it adds musicality so the audience can enjoy it more

[@hosseinm6269]

This piece is acturlly easier then it looks.

I concur, myself being a bluegrass trained fiddler, who got into classical violin by simple interest, latching onto this song played by Cynthia Miller Freivogel from Voices of Music, and having only three years of fiddle lessons, teaching myself to play it at age 14 over the course of a year.
I wasn't good at it by any means, but I could get all the way through it by memory without messing up too badly.

[@harrisonprocter8947]

I have to disagree... especially when my music teacher expects me to learn it in just 3 or 4 weeks...

[@dominusalicorn3684]

@@harrisonprocter8947 Well, the time span to learn it was quite different between us. I had no deadline, so it took me almost a year, but with a deadline, I bet I could have gotten the basic melody down in a month. But again, much longer to refine it.
