Hi there!

I'm working on the Jorgenson Romance which is a lovely piece and I'd recommend it a lot.

However.... in the middle there's a bar with a triplet from high G -> high A natural --> high B natural. I'm playing it in second position right now, but it's really tricky jumping all those harmonics - any suggestions for this (or other parts of the piece!) would be wonderful. <EMOJI seq="1f60a" tseq="1f60a">😊</EMOJI>

(I tried to insert a photo of the bar but I don't think it worked - you'll have to make do with my terrible description!)

It's at 1:52 on this if you want to see the music:

Or 1:49 on this if you want to hear it:

All in 2nd is the way to go on that. It’s literally the easiest possible way to play that lick. I’d practice it with a metronome by repeating it over and over as a lip slur, then tongued, lip slur, tongued, etc. to get the timing and the feel down.
