Prunes can assist the release, in given situations…

Nuts, wish I hadn't had that glass of wine with dinner, I'd get this a lot faster.

Thank you Buri!

Buri,
"Once one has done with the first finger leave it resting lightly on the string and repeat the procedure many times with the second finger and so on. Remember there is no intermediate sound of the first finger."
A most important ingredient to the recipe! D.

I reckon Drew should patent his RH system!

Can someone post a quick video of this. I do better by watching. I'm not QUITE sure what you're gettig at. Almost, but not 100%. Are you saying drop the first finger, play the note, raise the finger, drop it again, play the note? Still would like to see it.

Drew ... maybe not, but you SHOULD be able to!! I am so excited, my left hand has never been so precise, tension free, improved co-ordination with bow, articulation, etc ... and I thought this was mainly about helping my pupils!!

Ray, Check out the Comments on "Did you just call me a violinist?" Published: Apr. 22, 2008 at 7:49 PM
The last one — PM gets it! Good luck:-) Drew

I'll check it out, thanks, Drew. That's why when we're in Chicago later this Spring I'll have to schedule a lesson.
From Drew Lecher Posted from 64.53.208.254 on April 26, 2008 at 4:38 AM (GMT)
Teresa — what a delight to hear!!!
Ray — I look forward to it:-) Perhaps I'll dream up some special tortures for you…

From Buri's blog: "It is the act of placing which stimulates the bow to play. .................... The finger then releases up rhythmically and drops again. "
I think one one of the things RH does is to make you aware of when the rhythmic release is NOT happening, ie in fast semi-quaver passages this is why I sometimes feel tension in my first finger ...( Paganini 5 is a case in point)...it is when the rhythmic pop-up is not happening!
I also was coming at things, as Buri said, more from the 'finger, bow, go' concept (if I am understanding correctly ...?) and I think that can also can lead to fingers holding down strings before they need to and thus more tension, and less co-ordination.
Anyway, I am still analysing myself and I think this is what is happening, and I am very excited!
