* Two-bow ricochet with 8 notes, as fast as possible. Glissando to the note two octaves higher than the start note, or failing that, to the highest possible note on the same string. If the marked dynamic needs to be increased to produce the ricochet, maintain relative levels. ** If it is impossible to play these runs at tempo, omit some notes, but keep the starting and ending pitches the same. Do not adjust the tempo in order to accommodate all of the notes.
