About 3rd finger, I started doing that a while ago, the students of Joel Quarrington hipped me to it as a possible choice depending on context, and it works quite well. I certainly knew the "Italian" method coming from Bille (the Italian equivalent of the "German" school from Simandl) employed the 3rd finger for awhile, but only explored it after seeing Joel's students.
You're a beautiful person with a lot of heart, Fraser. It comes out in your playing, your personality and in this story you have shared. Thanks for sharing and for being you my friend.
Thank you for telling this story Fraser. I'm so happy to read that you've been finding a way through difficult times. You've always been an inspiration to me, and I cherish the lessons you taught me years ago.
Very brave of you to share all of this, Fraser. As musicians, we’re so used to keeping our guard up, pretending that we are invincible. Thank you!
Thank you Adrian.
Thanks so much for sharing, brother 🙏
