CHASE

Translation:'In this concerto there are several staccato runs with free insertion [editorial intervention?]. The staccato will succeed better if the bow first has contact with the string and therefore, the first note is marked Π naturally to be taken at the point of the bow and without any particular emphasis. In the original all the notes are marked V.'

Translates as: 'The number 5 indicates the extension of the 4th finger while the hand remains in the lower position. If the sign = is marked above or below the fingering, this is not to be understood as in the usual position, but on the next lower string, 4 positions higher.'
