Documentation Bibliography………………………………………………………..29 3 Introduction My intent in creating this project was to provide composers of today with a new resource; a technical yet pragmatic guide to writing with extended techniques on the cello. The cello has a wondrously broad spectrum of sonic possibility, yet must be approached in a different way than other string instruments, owing to its construction, playing orientation, and physical mass. Throughout the history of the cello, many resources regarding the core technique of the cello have been published; this book makes no attempt to expand on those sources. Divers resources are also available regarding the cello’s role in orchestration; these books, however, revolve mostly around the use of the instrument as part of a sonically traditional sensibility. The techniques discussed in this book, rather, are the so-called “extended” techniques; those that are comparatively rare in music of the common practice, and usually not involved within the elemental skills of cello playing, save as fringe oddities or practice techniques.

The Strings of Paganini
The Strings of Paganini Essay on the use of gut strings in the early Romantic era – an interview with Mimmo Peruffo – By Esther Visser Formation Superieure Abbaye aux Dames 2005-2007 Introduction In his letter from Breslau, 31 July 1829, Paganini writes to a friend in Naples: I need a favour: to be done with care and solicitude. I am without chantarelles […]. Even if they are very thin, they must be made of four strands to endure. Make sure the string is smooth, even and well stretched […]. I beg you to keep an eye on the makers and to do this soon and well.’1 What does this mean? What does he mean ‘using four strands’? And how thin would have been these ‘very thin’ strings? Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840) To find out about these things, I went to Mimmo Peruffo in Vicenza, Italy. He is an expert on the historical production of gut strings. In the last six years many new things have been discovered about gut strings as they were used in the past, and this has recently led to many violinists changing their set-up. For my own choices, and perhaps the reader’s, I would like to know more about these discoveries. Also, I wanted to ask Mimmo Peruffo about a package of strings found in a palace in Genoa in 2002. What does he think about it: are they really Paganini’s? What do these strings say about sound in the early Romantic time? 2 Sources I made use of many articles on the Internet, as the latest discoveries and knowledge in this field are not yet published in books.

Violin Settings
La Roche-sur-Foron, Workshop Bluegrass 2014 [email protected] Violin settings 1 – About acoustics 1.1 Perception of the human ear Average perception at 40dB (IEC 61672-1) 45 Frequency range of the violin : 40 G : 196 Hz 35 D : 294 Hz A : 440 Hz 30 E : 659 Hz 25 4th finger on E in 1 st position : D 987.77 Hz 20 4th finger on E in 3 rd position : D 1174.66 Hz 15 Loudness Loudness (dB) 10 5 Example: a G note played at 40 dB will be heard at 30 dBa only. 0 20 200 2000 Sound frequency (Hz) 1.2. Sound Evaluation Describing and evaluating the sound of an instrument is a tough job. Let’s focus on 4 easy-to-understand criteria: Projection Ability to convert the mechanical power provided by the musician into acoustic power. Evaluation : play at varying power , the acoustic power should continue increasing notably with your playing power, up to your maximum power. Weak apathetic sound Loud deafening sound Clarity The way the notes are distinguished from each other in a musical phrase. Evaluation : Play a sequence of quick slurred notes up and down. Blur and muddy sound Clear contras ted sound Tone Sensation of sweetness or hardness provided by the sound. Evaluation : play a variety of musical phrases in different styles, from slow and languishing to fast and aggressive. Fat basses and nasal tre bles Dry basses and shrilly treb les Sustain Absolute duration of a picked note (pizzicato). This criterion is not a focus for the sounding qualities but it gives precious indications on some mechanical aspects.

Excerpt Excerpt Do You Hear Me? Handbook for Violin Contemporary Music Notation
excerpt excerpt Do you hear me? Handbook for violin contemporary music notation by Dejana Sekulić excerpt Author’s Note: This might be a work with no end, as it is almost impossible to think of there could be an end of this research, and of this essay. Every new sign, sonority, color, timbre... experience in reading and playing, becomes additional material. With (almost) each new piece, there will be new additions, especially to the segment “Notation: see me-hear me-make me”. It is, as well, very excerptlikely that new chapters will arise, both on left and right hand technique, as well as marks on other sonority and timbre remarks. This publication captures this research at this point in time, and should not be considered as the ultimate statement, but the base on which the future findings will be added on. Special thank you to Barbara Maurer, Marc Danel, Graeme Jennings and Bart Bouckaert. Brussels, 2013 This is an ongoing research, therefore the second edition of the essay is in preparation. Revisions and new chapters currently in preparation: John Cage ●Freeman Etudes Brian Ferneyhough ●Unsichtbare Farben ●Superscriptio – Carceri excerptd’Invenzione I Helmut Lachenmann (Extended) Salvatore Sciarrino ●Sei Capricci ●Sound production (will include “Right hand” chapter, updated and expanded with: *Prepared violin/sound producers beyond bow and right hand; *Bow - point of contact and different pressures; *Sound granulation; *Movement - understanding new physical demands Brussels, 2014 excerpt Table of contents: Introduction Beautiful noise

Non-Traditional String Sound Resources My Notes in the Score | Bibliography
Non-Traditional String Sound Resources My Notes in the Score | Bibliography NOTE: This is a collection of symbols indicating non-traditional ways of creating sounds on traditional stringed instruments. Aside from the Bartók pizz —which has moved into general practice—the entries are from Penderecki's, Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. Bartók pizz: Also called snap pizz. Right hand pulls the string away from the fingerboard and releases, causing a snapping sound. Bartók pizz. sharpen a quarter tone sharpen three quarter tones flatten a quarter tone flatten three quarter tones 1 highest note of the instrument (no definite pitch) play between bridge and tailpiece arpeggio on four strings behind the bridge play on the tailpiece (arco) by bowing the tailpiece at an angle of 90° to its longer axis play on the bridge by bowing the wood of the bridge at a right angle at its right side Percussion effect: strike the upper sounding board of the violin with the nut or the fingertips several irregular changes of bow molto vibrato 2 very slow vibrato with a 1/4 tone frequency difference produced by sliding the finger very rapid non rhythmisized tremelo ord. - ordinario; cancel previous special instructions s.p. - sul ponticello; play on the bridge s.t. - sul tasto; play on the fingerboard c.l. - col legno; play with the wood of the bow l. batt. - legno battuto; play by striking the wood At first glance, these last two entries (col legno and legno battuto), seem to be the same thing. In the Threnody score, however, the legno battuto is associated with "arpeggio on four strings behind the bridge" (graphic, right).
