New fingering techniques for violinists These exercises are intended for violinists who have a basic knowledge of shifting positions and how to play double stops. At first fixed positions and shifting are practised separately from one another in one and two part combinations. In the second volume these two techniques are combined and consolidated. The aim of these studies or études is to improve fingering techniques, enabling the student to execute shifting positions with greater confidence.
