My knowledge of scales on the violin continues to increase, with the scales of E and E flat major to put under my belt, as well as a chromatic scale starting on D. The chromatic scale looks quite tricky, as it involves using the same finger to play two different successive notes. Although saying that, once I’ve mastered one, the rest should be easy. Not sure what is a reasonable pace of progress on the violin though…How long should it take one to start from scratch to be able to play something like Beethoven’s Spring violin sonata, or maybe the solo part of Winter from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons?
