How is mit Kontrabassbogen streichen played?
Draw a double-bass bow across the indicated edge or surface while stabilizing the instrument against the bow’s friction. On suspended cymbal, bow the rim and hold the cymbal firmly at the dome; the resulting sound can range from a discernible pitch to a shrill cluster according to cymbal, bow, pressure and dynamic, and the technique is normally limited to relatively quiet playing. If another object is named, follow its contact-point and safety instructions rather than transferring the cymbal setup automatically. Preserve written duration, pitch target where present, dynamic and damping.
How does mit Kontrabassbogen streichen sound?
Long, rubbed, overtone-rich sound.
In context
The phrase combines an implement, Kontrabassbogen, with the action streichen; neither a general Kontrabass abbreviation nor a bowing symbol directly abbreviates the complete instruction. Vienna Symphonic Library specifically prefers a double-bass bow for a suspended-cymbal rim and documents its variable response. No complete German short form received three independent direct expansions, so mit Kontrabassbogen streichen remains written out.
