You know what? I really find this fascinating.

Sorry, what's so fascinating? Well, tapping fingers like this fascinates me. I mean, this sort of teeter -totter or rolling gesture looks so effortless. Makes me wonder what would happen if it was done like that on the violin.

What would happen if I played like that with my fingers? Four, three, two, one. Whoa! Did you hear that? I mean, that was fast.

But did you hear all the notes? Okay, what if it was slowed down a bit? Now did you hear all the notes? Cool. But what about doing it the other way? One, two, three, four.

Amazing.

I mean, doing this is really fast, don't you think? Now I understand why we play this way. Hmm.

Or do we?
