  • Fast Down and Up Bowing for melodic scalar ideas

    Hi,

    Can someone tell me which articualtions would work best for hearing fast "down and up bowing" for melodies?  I have Dimension Strings, Apaasionata, Solos Strings and Special Edition.

    Where I'm confused is if I simply choose a basic Staccato articulation and play fast 8th notes will it automtically  choose down and up bows or is there something I else I need to do?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Down sfz

    Up stac

    or just use staccatos but play the Down- staccatos a bit louder.

    Example 1: here you can make out bow changings.

    Example 2: Changings between staccatos and sforzatos either every 2nd 16th or every fourth...

    (BWV 29, Sinfonia, based on Bach's E-Dur-Partita, arr. Kaufmann)
