| Legato
Bowing Slurs are only partially indicative of phrasing; if an actual phrase-mark is necessary, it should be notated above the passage with broken lines. |
||||
| Détaché
Bowing Each note is well articulated by virtue of being played with a separate bow-stroke. The bow hair does not leave the string. In moderate to fast tempo np special marking is necessary; in a slow tempo,dots should be used over or under the notes |

Staccato
Bowing Spiccato bowing is a formof rapid detached bowing, in that separate bow-strokes are used for each note, but the bow hair actually rebounds off the string so that the separation is more pronounced than in détaché bowing. It is notated with a dot over each note, plus abbreviation spicc. Jeté (or saltando) is a 'bouncing-bow' technique applied to short groups pf three to six detached notes, usually on the same pitch. The notation is the same as for group staccato; a slur in conjunction with dots over or under the note-heads, usually with the word saltando (right, below). |

Marcato
Bowing For a heavy accent---a somewhat percussive attack --the horizontal open wedge (>) is used. A softer type of marcato bowing is known as the louré; it implies a leaning or gentle pressure with the bow on the string. The tenuto dash is used under the note-head, and groups of two, three, or four notes are executed with one bow-slur. |
