Panel-ready practice tips

1.The opening octave passage is a classic audition trap: it sounds simple and is devastatingly hard to play in tune. Practice each octave as a tuning exercise before running the line.
2.The tempo is fast but panels want clarity, not speed. Every sixteenth note must speak.
3.The lyrical theme contrasts sharply with the opening: the character shift must be deliberate, not gradual.
4.Bow arm on the fast passages: upper third, wrist-level articulation, never at the frog.
5.French violin repertoire rewards stylistic elegance over brute sound. Panels mark heavy, Germanic bow technique as stylistically wrong.
