Every violinist who tackles Paganini's Caprice No. 24 eventually meets the sixth variation, the one Areg Navasardyan calls "the bane of most violinists."

In this lesson segment, Areg breaks down how to survive the sixth variation, from the opening jumps to the closing tenths.

His honest tip for the tenths: play the first two with a big bow and pretend it's a musical choice, rather than the technical preparation it actually is.
