= Spiccato
{wiki=Spiccato}
Spiccato is a bowing technique used in string instrument playing, particularly for the violin, viola, cello, and double bass. It involves the bow being bounced lightly on the strings, producing a sharp, distinct sound. This technique allows for a rhythmic articulation of notes, creating a staccato effect while maintaining a level of expressiveness. Spiccato is typically played in the middle of the bow and requires a controlled and relaxed grip to achieve the desired bouncy effect.
