DE mit starkem Bogendruck bowing advanced Support my free tools
How is mit starkem Bogendruck played?
Press the bow more firmly into the string while coordinating bow speed, contact point and dynamics. The result can be intense, grainy, rough or noise-coloured, but pressure alone does not guarantee one fixed timbre: a score-specific legend may preserve audible pitch or push the sound toward rasp and rattle.
How does mit starkem Bogendruck sound?
Pressed, rough, noisy, or intense sound.
In context
Vienna Symphonic Library treats bow pressure, speed and contact point as separate interacting controls. Stefan Streich’s Kontur Stadt distinguishes strong pressure with audible pitch from very strong pressure without stable pitch, while Gadenstätter’s HÄUTEN warns that high pressure need not automatically mean noise. Write the German phrase out unless a score defines its own local sign.
