In this masterclass, Professor Fried asks what the movement is about and explains the use of the bow and its connection with the phrasing. Harmony is important in this work, as well as its colors and how to achieve them with the bow with vibrato. In some phrases, it is better to join notes in groups and to control de sound that rises and falls. It is very important to define the structure of the movement.

The professor advises the student to do the 'choreography' of the right arm without either bow or violin, just with the arm. The student has to think about what she wants to do with the sound and the differences and contrast between the parts, as well as to try out all the possibilities.
