<h3><font color="#aa5555">Left Hand</font></h3>
<p>
The left hand serves two purposes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>fingering of notes</li>
<li>vibrato</li>
</ul>
<p>
The categories of fingerings and vibratoes can work to
generate highly complex sound.  Careful attention must
given to the proper form of the left hand.  While quick
actions, glissandos, harmonics, trills, shifts,
and double stops add great embellishment, improper execution
can lead to a mediocre sound.
</p>
<p>
Here is a brief glossary of left hand activities:
</p>
<ul>
<li>double stops: two fingers are creating separate intonations on
two different strings</li>
<li>glissando: the quick ascension or descension of notes</li>
<li>trills: quick oscillatory actions by a left finger</li>
<li>harmonics: reduced pressure by intonating fingers to allow for alternative pitches
due to adjusted string vibrations</li>
<li>shifts: movement of the left hand <i>in toto</i> relative to the violin scroll</li>
</ul>
