Page 63 - Checklists for the Left Hand

QUESTION

" On page 63, "Checklists for the left hand". Where you say "Placement of the LH fingers ascending" and "Placement of the LH fingers descending", in which dimension "ascending" and "descending" are you referring ? Is it touching and releasing the strings ? "
- Paulo, Sept, 2006

ANSWER

  • by "ascending" I mean ascending the scale, going up in pitch.
  • by "descending" I mean descending the scale, going DOWN in pitch.
  • The checklists here refer to playing a sequence of notes on one string
EXAMPLE - There are quite a few ascending notes with portamento in Choros No.1 by Heitor Villa-Lobos
