ANGE OF POSITION STUDIES
(THE DEVELOPEMENT OF FLEXIBILITY, Book Two)
FOR VIOLIN
STUDIES ON SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES
By.
D. C. DOUNIS, Op. 36
ills Music, Inc. + 1619 Broadway, New York 19, N. Y.Foreword
The Change of Position is next to the Vibrato the most
important element in the-technique of the left hand.
‘The main problem in shifting lies in the abil
fer the feeling of balance.of the hand from one position to
another in such a manner that the hand feels as if it were
to trans-
starting “cold” in the new position, without any previous shift-
ing. This is because invariably, through instinct, the hand will
assume a balanced feeling, in any position, if this feeling were
not impeded and lost through a faulty way of changing the
position, as is so often the case.
These studies are a logical complement to the first book
of “The Development of Flexibility,” Op. 35, which deals
with the balance of the fingers without changing the position.
For further specific exercises in shifting and for detailed
information on the “Dounis Principles” and my method of
practising see my works: Op. 12, Op. 16, Op. 20 and Op. 30.
