Maestro,
thank you so very much indeed for your useful video for a better sautillé…tried the exercise yeterday pm (have been working towards some decent sautille bowing, for the past 2/3 months now) the bowing does actually turn into sautillé, however when I try to use the same bowing for the Goltermann etude/caprice…for example…the result is quite messy….the problem is that this bowing cannot be studied somehow slowly….
….che fare????
Grazie infinite per la dritta….e complimenti sinceri a lei.
Flavio from the eternal city.
