Alternation
As a general rule, the same finger does not perform successive rest strokes.
It takes too much time to prepare the same finger for a second stroke when another
finger could be ready to start. The commonest way to play a passage of single notes
is to alternate the index (i) and middle (m) fingers. The motion is like walking
the fingers in place—as one plays, the other moves back to be ready for the next
note.
