December 30

I'm searching a musical bit, no matter which one, but it must be - well-known - and heavily based on intensive usage of the left strings of the violin.

i.e. much more frequently than the right strings.

Is there such a well-known bit? (I'm not a violinist). 185.120.125.16 (talk) 05:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's not much to go on, but if you remember the actual theme you might try Musipedia--Shantavira|^{feed me} 19:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to your suggestion about "the actual theme", I understood I wasn't clear enough, so I changed the title in such way that nobody may think (from now on) that the "actual theme" is important. 185.120.125.16 (talk) 20:18, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me a link on youtube or wherever on the web? I'm not familiar with this song. 185.120.125.16 (talk) 23:44, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a song that's a very left-side of the keyboard heavy phrase. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 23:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I got it now. So, back to your question, yes. However, as opposed to your phrase (I was not familiar with), I do permit usage of the right strings, yet I want it to be much less frequent than that of the left strings, in the musical bit I'm looking for. 185.120.125.16 (talk) 00:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently Hotel California can fit in 7 notes and the left half has a full octave inclusive plus 2 extra semitones so even if it doesn't fit you could transpose it so you never have to touch the right strings. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 01:09, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
