Legato Bowing Technique for the Cello
Hello my name is Russell Squires and I’m here today on behalf of ExpertVillage.com. Right now I’m going to talk to you about a bowing technique called Llegato. Llegato is a musical term that describes long and connected notes. To do this, we’re going to take our bow and place it on the string, about a half inch away from the frog. We’re then going to pull the bow, slowly yet firmly, across the string in one fluid motion. We could continue the Llegto motion by moving back up the bow. When we connect these two motions we produce very Llegotic and connected sounds. That same Llegato technique can be used to maintain a single note for long periods of time. You move the bow in a long motion once, and then near the tip of the bow, you jerk it back so it sounds like such. And that is the Llegato style.
