How to Play a Slow Version of Bonaparte's Retreat on Violin
/Bonaparte’s Retreat is a popular fiddle tune. It’s often played fast like a hoedown, but when I heard this gorgeous slow version, I had to learn it.
While the notes are relatively simple, there’s lots of opportunity for building a strong tone, using lots of bow, and incorporating ornaments!
This is a basic tutorial on the song, but if you’d like to learn how to add all of those ornaments, I’ve got lots of lessons on that inside of my studio!
Enjoy learning this slow version of Bonaparte’s Retreat!
