Hi, Thanks very much for the instruction. What I can't understand is the rhythm of the op45, no40 Wohlfahrt. It sounds as if you're playing triplets. From the way its written I am expecting to play dit, dit dah, ie short short long with the emphasis on the long. Is this a property of ricochet to play it like you and others seem to play?
Thanks,
Rob

I too am sorry to hear about Todd Ehle unable to do videos for VSM. I am a teacher that uses his videos to not only help my students, but also to inspire me. God speed, Todd, on your future endeavers.

Dear Becky, as I said below, we are really sad too about Todd's decision to leave us here... and we hope to have him back in the future!

In the meantime we are looking for someone else making Advanced Violin videos for us. We are working hard to find a replacement, but as you can understand it is not easy! Stay tuned for more coming up... thank you again for your kindness and interest!

I am so sorry that Todd Ehle will no longer be presenting videos for VSM - He presents technique with a depth that is understandable and entertaining. I have enjoyed his teaching videos on Youtube, and was especially pleased when he appeared here. He is a special teacher, and I say ditto to all the preceding comments.
