Cello: Multiple Stops — Ex. 3
Cello: Multiple Stops — Example 3
-
“The A string is open, and the 2 finger stops two adjacent notes to create the perfect 5th. The cello bow can sustain only two notes at a time; all the chords in this example are broken upwards.”
-
“Here octaves are played against the open G string, adding the open C string in the last chord. Note that octaves are played using thumb position; the distance between the fingers is exactly the same as for Touch 4 artificial harmonics, except that for octaves the thumb and 3 finger are on adjacent strings. The cello bow can sustain only two notes at a time; all the chords in this example are broken upwards.”
-
“Stopped 4th and 6ths against the open C and G strings. The cello bow can sustain only two notes at a time; all the chords in this example are broken upwards.”
