Fiddle Three: Bonaparte’s Bowing

Hi Fiddle Three-
Here is a video of me playing the B part of Bonaparte’s Retreat. This is good for observing bow phrasing, but keep in mind that I am overdoing the accents for demonstration purposes.

Keep clicking on the small text that says “bonaparte’s retreat, b” (you have to go through two screens).
