Cello: Bow Directions, Speed and Pressure— Ex. 4
Cello: Bow Directions, Speed and Pressure — Example 4
-
“It is possible to articulate notes under one bow (called "loure" or "portato") by stopping the bow and then moving in the same direction which puts space between the notes (the interpretation used here), or by dynamically pulsing the notes (a smoother, less clear articulation).”
-
“Bow changes of unequal length may require an adjustment of bow speed and consequently an adjustment of bow pressure if a consistent dynamic level is desired.”
