Mastering Detaché & Other Sustained Bow Strokes
How to create smooth and sustained sounds
Listen to any spoken language and notice how its organization and flow depend on a steady contrast between smooth vowel sounds and sharper consonant sounds. Similarly with music, you need a variety of articulations to tell a story and to hold the listener’s interest. For string players, this is primarily the domain of the bowing arm.
Does your music need to walk, tiptoe, soar, dance, or leap?
If so, you’ll need a repertoire of bow strokes to do justice to the music.
