Thank you for this incredibly useful exercise! It's great to break down a seemingly difficult stroke and find a constructive way to approach it. Would you also say Mozart 35 stroke falls under this umbrella?
Thanks, Josephine. Mozart 35 falls under sautille/flex, which happens above 130. That’s the topic of this Monday’s episode. In Light spiccato, the stick is passive, but in sautille, and Mozart 35, the stick is active and springing all by itself.
This is great, Dennis!
Thank you!
Would you say this applies to Beethoven 3, 3rd movement? Sounds incredible!
Thank you! Honestly, it depends on the conductor, but I'd categorize that 3rd movement as light-medium spiccato, if that's not too wishy-washy....
