DE ohne Bogendruck bowing advanced Support my free tools
How is ohne Bogendruck played?
Move the bow with very little downward force and let speed, contact point and the composer’s legend determine the result. A light-contact tone may sound airy, weak or unstable; a literal instruction such as Streichgeräusch, kein Bogendruck can instead request predominantly bow noise. Do not confuse reduced pressure with slower bow speed or a different contact point.
How does ohne Bogendruck sound?
Airy, weak, fragile sound.
In context
Vienna Symphonic Library identifies bow pressure, speed and contact point as separate controls. Peter Ablinger writes both a rapid whole stroke ganz ohne Druck and a distinct Streichgeräusch, kein Bogendruck instruction, showing that the surrounding words define the intended sound. No stable abbreviation of ohne Bogendruck was found.
