saltando

(sælˈtændəʊ ) noun. music. a short, bouncing bow stroke resulting in a staccato sound.

noun. ar·​co sal·​tan·​do. ¦är(ˌ)kōˌsälˈtän(ˌ)dō : a rapid staccato in which the bow rebounds from the string at each tone.

As Spiccato requires the bow hair to leave the string entirely as it bounces, it is usually used in slow or medium tempo. On the other hand, Sautillé (or Saltando) is used for fast passage. Sautillé is played in the middle of the bow with rapid successions of short bow strokes.

Sautillé (French; Italian saltando, German Springbogen, Spanish saltillo) - A bowstroke played rapidly in the middle of the bow, one bowstroke per note, so that the bow bounces very slightly off the string.

Spiccato is indicated by dots above or below the notes. Sometimes dots mean martelé, but if it does that's usually written down.

The violin and other string instruments represent cold, sadness, tranquility, sympathy, fragility, and joy (Vivaldi's “Spring” for instance). A distorted guitar represents power, aggression, and strength, while a “clean” electric guitar is used to symbolize anguish and solitude.

Spiccato: Alternating bow strokes. The hair of the bow bounces off the string on each note change. Staccato: A short, non-bouncing bow stroke, where the bow does not leave the string. Pizzicato: The string is picked with the index finger of the bowing hand.

violin, byname fiddle, bowed stringed musical instrument that evolved during the Renaissance from earlier bowed instruments: the medieval fiddle; its 16th-century Italian offshoot, the lira da braccio; and the rebec. The violin is probably the best known and most widely distributed musical instrument in the world.

While violins are often associated with sad and emotional pieces, they are equally adept at conveying joy and happiness. In fact, some of the most difficult violin pieces are joyful and exuberant works. Compositions in major keys, such as D and A major, can sound cheerful and uplifting when played on the violin.

Spiccato: derived from an Italian word for “separated.” Spiccato is an off string bow stroke played at the balance point of bow. There are three types of spiccato: light, brushed, and heavy. Steps # 2-8 to be practiced on open strings.

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.

Classical music in particular steers a mysterious path through our senses, triggering unexpected and powerful emotional responses, which sometimes result in tears – and not just tears of sadness. Tears flow spontaneously in response to a release of tension, perhaps at the end of a particularly engrossing performance.
