    Guys I have a question. I'm just starting to learn Mozart violin sonata no. 36 and I cant seem to get the fast slurred notes in the beginning of the piece. Any ideas or techniques, anything would be appreciated.
    By the way I'm a violinist.

    Well, I don't play violin, but I can tell you something that my piano teacher taught me, that may help (or may not help...) you. :) My piano teacher calls it "Stomp and Ugly". :D (mostly because she has younger students... :) ) You just play the notes extra long, and super loud over and over again. It creates muscle memory. (I often have to do this because I start playing the song WAY too fast the first time... :D ) I don't know how you would do this on the violin, but I hope it helps! :)
