Pedagogy:

There is a great article from The Strad magazine, written by Glen Dicterow, that goes into detail on how he performs it (including bowings and fingerings!) However, do to either editorial haphazerdness or perhaps Dicterow’s intent on now revealing all his secrets, some of the bowings and fingerings make no sense at all (i.e. the first excerpt has two “down” bows in a row, clearly someone forgot to include an “up” bow) so take it with a grain of salt.
