There is minimal shifting from 1st to 3rd position. Alternate fingering is included for one passage using a 4th finger extension on the E string.

Most of the bow strokes used are legato detache. There is one measure of up-bow staccato on a D major scale. And one measure of brushed off the string bowing for a D major scale.
