Using the little time available, I tried to stay in shape by practicing only the usual scales and bowings of which there are collections of mind-numbing quantity, ranging from Sevick to Flesh. The result was when trying to play chamber music for example, I felt all tied up in knots, and playing became an unnatural sequence of fingers and bow activity, while the essential reflexes of natural flow were suppressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Werner Torkanowsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43998172086433,"sku":"9780975395318","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/184nzq9y-front-shortedge-384_82fa3ce6-3c35-44ad-b00b-e61c4de2ec70.jpg?v=1748236665","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/staying-in-shape-for-violin","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
