In July, 2009, I played this for my first lesson with B as an indication of something I would like to work on. The following bits of advice are from the first lessons to the lesson when I finished working on this piece. I think I could probably revisit this and play it well enough to play in public (with tons of practice); really like this--much more than his Bourree.
Use more bow, especially in the easy sections
Gliss into the double stop/double A with 0/1 fingers
Don't stop and look at fingers!!!!!
In measure 24 slide fingers up to the harmonic and let it ring
In treble measure/thumb position: Thumb-1-2-3 and gliss down to the D double stop
Nuggets or piece practice
Play slower
Use metronome and gradually increase speed only when playing perfectly at the lower speed.
Measures: 13 to 16
23 to 24
Make sure fingers are not jammed together in measures 13 and 14
Practice 13 and 14 separate bow and also practice 6 slurs instead of 12 slurs; smoothly moving from 1 to 4
Work on for one more week.
Very good
Use a paintbrush, instead of abruptly ending notes
Use more bow
Check double stops at end; playing the wrong note
Second page; second time did not do the triple stacatto's but instead did a repeat of first version?? Need to look sometimes at the music
