This is good news indeed. I expect in a few months to start focusing more on long-term exercises to develop and strenghten the techique, so I will surely get some of those books if not all. Thank you!
Interesting question! If you follow the general rule that «the change of position must not be heard» (that is you are not actually playing when changing position) then you could do it both ways. However, at least in Maia Bang's method, it is prescribed to always slide the finger you are playing with to the new position and only then place the new finger. So in your case you would slide the 2nd finger to the 3rd position and then place the 1st finger in the 3rd position. This makes sense to me in two ways: 1) when you change to a "higher" finger, you use the sliding finger to secure the position before placing the new finger; 2) the actual shift of position with your hand happens BEFORE you use the new finger in the new position and that seems less complicated to execute.
As I say in my book, and Yost said in his, and Dounis in his, and countless other pedagogues: For technical purposes, we always shift with the last finger that played before the shift.
how about portamento? when shifting with legato bowing if you reach the second finger in the new position and then put first finger, the second will sound before the first, don't?

Thanks a lot
The right audio channel has no voice for some reason
Amazing!!
Would you consider a viola edition? I would buy it immediately
if i'm using 2nd finger on 1st position and must shift to the 1st finger in 3rd position, i slide with 2 or i put finger 1 before and slide with it?

The option of "music store" in that link is blank
either wait for the page to load or refresh the page.
@@ViolinClassUSA Thanks for reply I will do accordingly
Can’t find any links to PDFs.
They’re in the description!
Are the exercises in the pdf applicable to viola too?
of course!
@@ViolinClassUSA okey, thanks! But I imagine there is not a variant in the C clef, am I right?
