A few years ago I wrote a book of shifting pieces (in versions for both violin and viola) called "Dancing on the Fingerboard," where I gave the ultimate piece, which uses sixth and seventh positions, a title that I thought quite appropriate for both the physical matter of navigating high up on the fingerboard, and the musical "sense" of the piece.
Who knew that the numbers involved here would be the stuff of popular culture?
