1Fig. I. A front view of the entire position. Note the turn of the violin to the left, the downward tilt of its right rim, and the horizontal direction of the strings. The left elbow is thrust in front of the breast as required to enable the fingers to govern the tones in the first position on the G-string (a, b, c, d). Two positions of the right arm are drawn, showing the limits of its elevation and depression, as when playing on the outside strings.
3Fig. II. Correct position of the thumb and fingers in the first position, stopping the G-string at a, b, c and d.
5Fig. III. Correct position of the thumb and fingers in the fourth position, stopping the G-string at d, e, f and g.
