| The innovation
we call Simandl-Plus® together with the Triangulation
of Fingering Systems, is codified by fifteen specific Fingering
Strategies, and a clear and efficient method of notation.
These fifteen strategies are subdivided in “sets” of
two or three strategies each, grouped according to the
parameter they address: rhythm, melodic gestures, tempo,
and string crossings, as well as “money” notes/lower
numbered fingers, and “transitional” fingers.
As with any set of strategies, one must acknowledge their
hierarchy of importance and be flexible in knowing when
to abandon which strategy. However, I guarantee that finding
a fingering that follows all of the applicable strategies
will get you much closer to the ultimate goal of realizing
the composer’s and interpreter’s artistic vision.
Simandl-Plus® and
the Triangulation of Fingering Systems are fundamental
teaching concepts at the American School of Double Bass®.
