Great, I was waiting for this. Thank you so much, it is a very helpful video. In my opinion the spiccato is the most abstract bowing. I found this exercises very helpful to develop it.

Thank you, Gabo. That's great to hear.

Great! I've been working in different bow strokes a lot the past few days, and these advices are truly helpful! Looking forward to watching the whole series!

Funnily enough I’ve just come in from practicing this one! Unfortunately mine didn’t sound as nice. I play German bow and I lose attack when coming down to the E string. I suspect I need to slow the tempo! Looking forward to the series. Many thanks.

@paulyfortissimo 4 года назад

Same with me.

@incrediblyusefulexercises 4 года назад

Yeah, this is the biggest issue of the series. My approach with German bow on the low strings is to get the fingers involved, and basically just play everything on the string, letting the bow "springboard" off the strings. I learned all of this on French, so when I play German, I have to learn it all over again. Bouncing at 100-130 is the real challenge. That's what I'm exploring...

@BroadsideLock 4 года назад

I find that as spiccato moves from lower to higher notes the stroke has to become wider. So have a nice spiccato on the E string usually have to have less horizontal motion and more vertical up and down

@Opus766 4 года назад

Looking forward following the new series. I'd appreciate if you could connect some of the bow strokes you demonstrate to musical periods or specific composers

@incrediblyusefulexercises 4 года назад

Thanks, Wiggly. That's exactly what I'll be doing. The style isn't EXACTLY correlated with musical periods or composers - there are examples where a Beethoven spiccato is light in one piece (Beet 7 slow movement), heavy in another piece (Beethoven 7 1st movement), and medium in another (Beet 3). It's all about context, tempo and character. I've never stuck with just one spiccato sound for a single composer. Tempo is everything. But yes, I'll be giving specific examples in each episode. Thanks as always

@paulyfortissimo 4 года назад

Thanks for this. I notice you keep it close to the frog, not using much of the bow.

@incrediblyusefulexercises 4 года назад

It all depends on the tempo. I keep it at the frog around 70, but move away from the frog as the tempo gets faster. You see that the light spiccato is more in the middle of the bow. The bow bounces faster there. It's all about context and the sound you want.

@alexbayer9294 4 года назад

Hey! thanks for the video... will the 6-part series also cover German bow?

@incrediblyusefulexercises 4 года назад

Thanks, Alex. Yes, but not as in depth as French bow. There are some spiccato tempos that I can't maintain on German bow, but I'll be demonstrating the ones that I can. It's a little nerve wracking... :-)
