Rx: Separating and clarifying musical phrases.
Three articulation techniques are demonstrated and discussed:
- detaché
- martelé
- legato
- spiccato
An exercise for developing spiccato is demonstrated. It is a mix of detache´and spiccato to experience the similarity between them.
The other articulations are recommended to be worked on using Kreutzer’s violin etudes transcribed to the double bass.
