Spiccato is the natural stroke for faster
notes for example: sixteenth notes in allegro
or vivace.
Try to separate the notes while keeping a
melodic character.
Every note on the fingerboard has an ideal
combination three factors: distance to the
bridge, how much bow hair and how much weight
or pressure we should play with.
We must adapt the bow as much as we can wen
changing the register or strings.
The higher the register: the more bow, less bow hair and less bounce we need.
On the lower strings it’s the oposite: Use
a narrower stroke, more bow hair and higher
bounce. In other words we must play different to get the same sound
Spiccato is imposible or at least very difficult close to the frog.
Find a sweet point where the bow bounces naturally,
and then add a horizontal motion.
