Hi, I have been working on Vivaldi's Autumn concerto for a number years and I always have difficulty with the double stop passages of the main theme of both the 1st movement and the 3rd movement. I always used to play it 3rd position but now I am using it as a shift exercise between 2nd and 3rd. How would you suggest that it should be played. Thanks

Dear Charles, Prof. Ehle could not reply to your inquiry on this webpage because he's no longer producing videos for us. I'd suggest to post your questions to our new Advanced Violin Expert Prof. Fitzpatrick from the page below:

Please, let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks.

If it's in g minor, why do you think Bach wrote the key signature without the e flat?
