ŠEVČĺK'S VIOLIN TECHNIC - Preparatory Studies in Double Stopping, Op. 9

    The exercises with their variants are to be practised slowly, rhythmically and no louder than mf.
Forward or backward shifting of double stoppings to a higher or lower position should at first be very slow. The fingers should be placed on the strings so lightly that gliding through the intervals can proceed without jerking.  Any faulty intonation must be corrected immediately.  In doing this, the intention is not to move both  fingers simultaneously,  but rather to correct the lower note first, and then the upper one.
