yep that was it!

If you need to, turn to paganini!


Yeah, the Dincu is what we all had to learn to start begining to learn this technique. Also, my primary teacher was Romanian, so we had to play all that goofy stuff.

I pretty much just wanted to play the Bartok Solo sonota, and Schosticovitch concertos.

fyi, this if you listen to the whole movement is why I play the violin.

none of those are flying staccato... that's regular staccatto or "slurred" staccatto.

There is a difference between flying spi and stacatto....you see flying (true) spicatto much less.

Anyhoo, a good bow goes along way. A good bow, a good violin, and loads of practice (which ungodly amounts of talent) go all the way.

THe examples you posted of "stacatto" were not flying staccato. There's a difference. If you want to see that, watch what I posted.

You're exactly right - most people confuse a true flying spiccato with a sloppy off-the-string dÃ

What violinist said.

Where do you play violinist? Where did you study?

There is no such thing as "flying" spicatto. That's like saying wet water.

Spicatto is off the string with a controlled stroke, each beat requires a change of bow direction.

Staccatto is when the bow goes in the same direction and stays on the string. Flying spicatto is you are using the instability in the bow and controlling the bounce, all in one bow stroke.
