'I play the passage slowly at first, without vibrato, in order to concentrate on bow distribution, speed and developing a more natural line.'

Violinist Tamsin Waley Cohen, who has written a Practice Diary for The Strad's August 2014 issue, gives an insight into how she practises Bach's Violin Sonata no.2 in A minor BWV1003 and Brahms's Violin Concerto, including demonstrations.
