Carl Flesch (for those of you who are not string players) is a guy who invented a method for learning to play scales and arpeggios on stringed instruments. Only I think that's all he ever did, because his fingerings don't work in real symphonies. I have played eight or ten major symphonies, three operas, and 12-15 preludes to operas, combined with around 20 smaller works for orchestra, and that's on top of all my solo pieces that I've done. And I've never, that's correct, NEVER used Flesch fingerings for anything I've played. So why the heck are all the violin teachers so flippin' stuck on it? Do they not know how to teach shifting or something? >:( Grr. HATE CARL FLESCH. Boo. That is all.
