Starting with the Second Grip.
The second finger will move from against the 3rd finger to against the 1st finger.
We will refer to this as the “low 2nd finger”.
We will also cover the Dorian Scale and syncopation in the process.
Nice styles from Romania, Hungaria and Ireland again in this lesson.
Again the “Overview” tab is the full lesson, followed by the “play-alongs” in the next tabs.

Let's play a Romanian Invertita, a Romanian dance, still just fingers 1 and 2. CVB1 49

A nice Hungarian (or Gypsy) Csardas, with the same Syncopation as in ex. 52. CVB1 53
I have a question about syncopation. How can we see the difference between 2 notes we have to play on 1 bow, and 2 notes we have to play synconpated? The 2 notes are both connected with a little bow.
It is not that you would play it different from notes on a downbeat, the note just starts on an offbeat, that is how it is notated.
In the example of ex. 52 you see that the note “E” (with the red arrow) is not on a downbeat (on the 3rd or 4th count), but in between the 3rd and 4th count.
It is connected to the same “E” ON the 4th count, because of the tie you play it as one note.
In the video example you can see and hear the result.
This is what we call syncopation.
