Getting inside the mind of a master. Here’s the first four-ish lines of Bach’s Gm Fuga (violin Sonata 1), as fingered by Thile, which I just spent the last hour transcribing from his extraordinary single-take video on YT.

Lots of low fourth fingers, adjacent-finger fifths, and a couple cross-picked scales. This isn’t the ONLY way to play it, but based on how consistently and sustainably he plays, I think it’s a great best practice.
