The tempo isn’t bad (actually slower than what I initially expected) but holy smokes the amount of double stops Bruch decided to put in this concerto is atrocious 😭 I swear half the piece is double stops and a good quarter of it is 16th note 3 octave scales that go from 1st to 5th position in the span of 2 measures

God, 5th position. I’ve only been playing for 6 years and I’m still an amateur so I’ve only gone up there a couple times. But I will say, the worst double stops I had to do was quickly switching between a low 1 and high 3 and a low 2 and normal 4. MULTIPLE TIMES!
And I mean fingers 1 through 4 obviously.
