Tony,

It's more of a general approach for string player than it is a mandate. Small motions are preferred however with regards to timing and things like vibrato, one might choose to increase the distance in order to increase the amount of time it takes something to happen, with the speed of finger motion remaining constant. I agree that "generally slow movement" with the concept that we only need to move at the speed necessary to have clean execution is the most efficient/effective way to play, on clarinet or the violin. It's interesting that I have a number of violin students who come to me asking why they can't get their fingers to move faster to play rapid passages, as that isn't the solution at all!

The next discussion I want to have is to see how many people actually raise/lower their fingers from the muscles of the hand, vs. rotating the hand from the forearm/elbow to generate finger motion, or a combination of both.
