Greater awareness of musical character and period style
Coordination between left-hand technique and bow movement
Expressive control of dynamics and tone colour

This is primarily a repertoire and exam-pieces book, rather than a dedicated technical exercise collection. The Grade 6 pieces nevertheless provide opportunities to develop advanced bow control, articulation, position awareness, finger agility, rhythmic precision, phrasing and expressive interpretation.
