Mastering Martelé & Other Stopped Bow Strokes
How to add contrast and clarity to passages
Does your music need to build intensity, make a statement, or wake up an audience? If so, you’ll need the characteristic sounds of the second category of bow strokes in which the bow stays on the string, but stops between notes. These types of strokes provide the consonant sounds that make music interesting, provide contrast to smoother vowel-sound strokes, and add clarity to passages in general.
The primary bowing in this category is the martelé, though you’ll also learn about slurred staccato and certain types of detaché that can apply to notes with accent or dot markings.
