Hints on Andante Religioso: This piece is very attainable for intermediate performers. There are some tough fingerings and tied notes, so be attentive to them. The toughest section of the piece is between measures 12-15. The left-hand fingerings are very tough, and it is very easy to get muted notes if you don’t have good contact with the strings or if you don’t press on the strings hard enough. However, during measures 12-15 there is a pattern in the left hand that repeats, but goes lower on the neck each time, so if you notice this pattern it will help you to understand this section and thus perform it better. This piece requires the player to switch between freestroke and reststroke a few times, so make sure you are comfortable with each technique as well as switching between the two. There are finger exercises for those looking to practice switching between freestroke and reststroke in the “Exercises” section of this site.
