Kreutzer Etude #10, Practice Guide (Positional Arpeggios)

This video offers some suggestions for how to practice Kreutzer Etude #10.

As with other studies in the etude group #9-14, this etude is about hand positions - specifically, shifting into and taking an arpeggio across all four strings. The most important is to practice this with martele/detache to focus on the left hand, but you can also add some bowing variations. We've also added a fun harmonic exercise recommended by Mimi Zweig.
