Use strategic fingerings for smooth string crossings
You’ll see a few finger numbers in both arrangements that might not make sense at first: a 2nd finger for C natural on the A string and a 3rd finger for F sharp on the D string.
Although we usually play both of these notes with the second finger, C natural uses a low 2 and F sharp uses a high 2. If we go from one to the other using the same finger, we’ll hear an interruption in the sound. Sometimes it’ll even sound scratchy going from one note to the next.
To avoid this, we use a low 2nd finger for C natural on the A string, and a low 3rd finger for F sharp on the D string. We can place the low 3rd finger on the string before the bow gets there, meaning we can smoothly go from C to F sharp without any interruptions.
In a smooth melody like this, using strategic fingerings to connect our notes can make all the difference in our tone and phrasing!
