Viola: Articulation & Bow Colors

Click the video to play and pause, or use the spacebar. Mouse over the score and click to choose matching video and commentary.

Please note: For an extended demonstration of bow direction, speed and pressure, see the section on the cello. Staccato implies a clear articulation of each note while keeping the bow on (or very close to) the string. Staccato may be played by stopping the bow, then continuing in the same bow direction, as indicated by these 4-note slurs.
