musical notation question

26 December 2009 - 03:27 PM

Sometimes I see a chord (and sometimes a double stop) with [ written to the left side of it. Does this require I play the chord in a special way? Does it imply divisi?

(I'm not referring to the appeggio squiggle. :))

Thanks!

To be honest, I've been going nuts finding fingerings. There're so many jumps up and down. My real problem is the bowings though. I don't know if I should unslur everything or what.

This is the audition exerpt. Can someone give me advice on how the bowings should be at the beginning?

Thanks!

Second violin, mvt 4, the second bar of rehearsal 106 (the measure after the 5/4).

It looks like Eb, D, C, Bb, C, Bb, C, D, Eb, D, C, D, C, Bb, C, D but I'm not sure. The Bbs are written like Ds and vice versa. Can anyone consult a score for me? I tried a recording but the notes were too fast to catch.

Thanks so much!

Hole in sound post :O

I glanced into my violin yesterday and saw that there was a small hole-- not perfectly round and not going through the width of the sound post-- in middle of the soundpost by the right f-hole. o_O

My question:

1. Could this be the source of a new buzzing I've recently noticed while place on the A/E strings? If not, what could this buzzing be caused by besides cracks? I've already made sure the shinrest was not touching the tailpiece.
2. What the heck causes a hole in the instrument?
3. Should I get this fixed? Or is it nothing to worry about?

Thanks!
