How is doppie corde played?
Bow two adjacent strings simultaneously, stopping both pitches or combining a stopped note with an open string. The instruction concerns simultaneity; a fast arpeggiation, bariolage across strings, or a three- or four-note chord is not automatically the same thing. Intonation and balance require coordinated left-hand placement and even bow contact.
How does doppie corde sound?
Two simultaneous notes on strings.
In context
Double stopping produces two simultaneous string pitches, often with an open string as one member. Vienna Symphonic Library describes adjacent-string double stops, while edited Italian and conservatory sources commonly call the technique corde doppie. The database’s locked wording doppie corde is understandable but should remain flagged for later metadata review. No evidence supports promoting d.c., which is also liable to be read as da capo.
