Bowing indications

[mrgoodbass]

Hi Mr. Neher, I'm working out of the George Vance Progressive Repertoire book Vol. 3. In the second piece Tre Giorni there are certain groups of notes which have two curved lines. Which of the two lines is the indication for the notes to be played with one bow direction. What does the other curved line indicate as long as we're at it. Thanks, Jon Pintoff

P.S. Do you know of any good teachers (beg/int) in the Los Angeles area?

I assume this is an alternate bowing. You could contact George to be sure at Slavapub.com. In LA David Young or Cielito De Jesus (send me a private msg and I will give you contact info). Best!

It may also be a phrase marking.

Don't have the book in front of me, but I believe in this case the larger marking is the bowing, and the smaller ones inside it are ties....
