When you listen to recordings all the eighth notes are played spiccato or sautillé. In the video I show a shot of the sheet music, so you can see about which part I’m talking about.

The main difference between spiccato and sautillé is that with spiccato you control the whole movement and with sautillé the bow jumps mostly out of itself. This depends mainly on the tempo that you are playing in. Something practiced slowly spiccato can become sautillé when you increase the speed. Practically there are not so many differences as people often think.

To control the bow, coordinate your left and right hand and not let the bow bounce away, you start practicing this piece with an extremely low very controlled spiccato. In this your bow isn’t really bouncing, but you are making the U shaped movement. In the video I show you how. This is to synchronize your left and right hand in slow motion.

By the way: the spiccato place of my bow is a bit more to the frog than most bows. It’s possible that if you imitate me, you will notice you have to move a bit more to the middle of the bow to make it work.
