HI Zlata,
find this video very good and well done. Very interesting since I am learning Staccato and for long time never understood exactly how this works. I can’t wait to practice this beautiful technic.
Thank you very much
Wonderful, Gustavo, I’m glad it’s helpful.
Hello Zlata,
Loved your video and am taking you up on your offer to help with other repertoire. We are playing the Lt. Kije suite. I wondered if you would comment on a particular passage. I’d like to know what technique to use (i.e., flying spiccato, etc) and how you would practice the technique. In our music it is in the third movement, Kije’s wedding, 13 measures after rehearsal #34 (measure 89 from beginning of movement in our music). Measure starts with an eighth note D followed by two sixteenth notes Cs and continues in a similar pattern. We are bowing the entire measure as follows: up down down down up updown down down up. So, what would you call this bow stroke and how would you prepare for it during individual practice time? Thank you!
Hi Ann Marie, from what you describe it sounds like it’s ricochet. As you’re also in Bow like a Pro, see the ricochet lesson inside Module 4. Also there are some Sevcik variations Vivien covered in Module 6 about Ricochet. That’s excellent preparation. If you want me to look further, please send me a link of a recording and I can look what bow technique it’s exactly as I haven’t played the piece you mention.
