No. 4.7: Intonation Exercise: The correct distances between fingers in different positions
INTONATION EXERCISE
The correct distances between fingers in the first til sixth positions:
"Once you have become fluent with the exercise there is a feeling of the entire hand being in tune, each finger knowing exactly where to go in each position, rather than a sense of having to aim each finger in tune one at a time."
Simon Fischer, SCALES, p. 48

Please listen to them and enjoy the harmonious atmosphere of beauty and peace, which we experienced at this special place during one intensive workshop week.
