So today we're talking about Caligula. So what is colino.

This may be achieved by either “beating” or tapping the strings with the wood in col legno battuto, which results in a percussive, short, sharp attack, or by drawing the wood of the bow across the strings in a typical “stroking action” in col legno tratto, which results in a muted, ethereal timbre.

Violin is the formal word for a fiddle - a stringed instrument that's held to a player's neck and played with a bow. Nearly every string quartet includes at least one violin. The word violin comes from viola, from the Italian viola da braccio, which was a popular medieval instrument.

Pieces to listen to that use Col Legno to great effect are Saint Saens' 'Danse Macabre' where it is used to suggest the rattling of skeletons and also in Berlioz's 'Symphony Fantastique' to represent the Dream of the Witches Sabbath, thirdly it is heard in Mars from Holst's 'Planets Suite'.

We of course normally. Play with the hair string : yo is where you turn the bow over. And play with the wood. It can be played most often off the string.

Col legno, which means "with the wood" in Italian, is a technique used in classical music in which the bow is used to strike the strings with the wood rather than the hair.

Violins are well-suited to playing melody, making them one of the most important instruments in the orchestra. Firstly, they are the highest string instrument, so their bright tone rises above the rest of the string section. Secondly, they are played with a bow, unlike woodwind or brass instrument which rely on air.

The sound produced by col legno tratto is very quiet, with an overlay of white noise, but the pitch of the stopped note can be clearly heard. If the sound is too quiet, the bow can be slightly rolled so that a few bow hairs touch the string as well, leading to a slightly less "airy" sound.
