"Bowed"

[edit]

"Bowed" should be added to the title (as it doesn't refer to harps, guitars, hammered dulcimers, etc.). Badagnani (talk) 05:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps “orchestral string instruments”? That’s the term Blatter uses. (Somewhat of a misnomer I admit, but perhaps more elegant?) --S.dedalus (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

gliding the bow along the string (instead of perpendicular bowing)

[edit]

I noticed this technique in Lachenmann's (who else ;-) "The Little Match Girl". The bow is moved with the hair pressed on the string as in regular bowing, but gliding along the string instead of perpendicular to it. With strong pressure, the sound is a "hideous" croaking glissando, especially on celli and basses. (I suppose this isn't exactly healthy for the bow) I don't see this technique mentioned in the article. (Note that this is not "scratch tone", which is produced by bowing perpendicular to the string!) -- megA (talk) 12:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Add teeth pizzicato?

[edit]

I watched some performances by Roman Kim (Example: [1]) where he plucks the string of the violin with his teeth. Should this be added? I found it in the God Save the King video (linked) and his transcription of the Brindisi for violin and piano (12:00). Wilh3lmGo here to trout me if I do a stupid 23:55, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
