Petracchi?

Anyone else know this exercise? I'm looking to find it in print somewhere for a student - it's something I was shown years ago but I don't recall the origin, save that I think it was Petracchi but I'm not finding it in "Simplified Higher Technique ..."

 

Ah, but can you tell me where to find it in print? That is the $64,000 question! I just put in 3 bars worth in Sibelius so I didn't have to try to explain it. And I honestly forget how it works in thumb position but I know it changes. I generally just did it up to there and stopped.

I have that book and looked through it a couple of times but didn't find this exercise there. That's also where I thought I'd find it. Do you have a page number for it?

@Thomas Allin, I agree and I thought the same thing when I went through the book, but is this (what I showed in my example) really an exercise no one has written down?

The way I was taught this, there was thumb, and the notes changed. If memory serves, when you got to C with your first finger on the 2nd string, you added an Eb with your thumb on the first string in addition to 3 on G.

Just tried it on the bass - that's close, but I can't remember now the exact way it went in terms of how the extra note got added.

@Thomas Allin, every time a new message appears in this thread, I am _more_ anxious to find printed music for this. Would that I'd have practiced it enough to remember it - maybe if I just keep trying, the rest will come back to me.

@Thomas Allin, if you remember the thumb stuff, could you write out one measure of it and send it to me? Scan or phone picture or whatever works for you. Thanks. If you want to email, PM and I'll give you my email.
