Kreutzer Etude #14, Practice Guide (Legato, String Crossings)

Описание: This video offers some suggestions for how to practice Kreutzer Etude #14.

We've reached the end of the first section of Kreutzer Etudes! Etude #14 is a personal favorite of my mine. In this etude, we continue to work on smooth string crossings by combining our arm levels and a loose wrist. At the same time we want a quiet but active left hand, being aware of shifts versus extensions. In this video, I will share a few practice suggestions that apply generally to passages of this style.
