DE mehrere Saiten bowing advanced Support my free tools
How is mehrere Saiten played?
Use the strings identified by the notes, labels or diagram. Depending on that context, they may sound together as a multiple stop, be rolled rapidly as a chord, or be crossed in a broad gesture or special effect. The phrase itself names only the multi-string scope; it does not decide simultaneity, bow direction, articulation or whether the action is bowed or plucked.
How does mehrere Saiten sound?
Several strings sounding together or in rapid distribution.
In context
Helbling uses über alle vier Saiten for continuous crossing gestures and explains how slurs group notes within one bow. Vienna Symphonic Library separately describes double, triple and quadruple stops, noting that larger chords are commonly broken, while Gould’s notation manual stresses explicit slurs and brackets when bowing or multiple-stop grouping matters. Mehrere Saiten is therefore a contextual descriptive phrase, not an independently complete abbreviated instruction.
