A Major Scale Violin, 3 Octaves, with Arpeggio
ScaleIntermediateViolin
About This Piece
The three-octave A major scale extends from open A through to A6, requiring shifts into second, third, fifth, and seventh positions. Galamian and Flesch both built versions of it into their daily routines. Practice each shift slowly first, then add the arpeggio to develop position security across the full instrument range.
