    Awesome video! There's one thing I'd like to point out tough as there's quite some confusion around it (here and in other videos on the internet), spiccato and sautillé are DIFFERENT techniques, in spiccato the bow bounces leaving the strings while in sautillé it's just the wood that is bouncing while the hairs remain mostly adherent to the strings, the way of playing them is therefore different, while spiccato is usually played in correspondence of the balance point of the bow to get an optimal sautillé you have to go a bit higher, near the middle of the bow.

    All of the Players on the KZread videos who are demonstrating the different types of bowing techniques, never show the written manuscript, and what these techniques actually LOOK like on the music. For example, if detache is what the composer wanted, is the term written on the music, or is it just assumed that technique without the phrase markings? This information would be helpful for all beginners and students.

    Hello XeeGen! Yes, the concertmaster decides on bowings. The conductor determines what kind of sound they are looking for, and will usually work with concert master or section leaders to determine which stroke will accomplish this.

    Thank you so much for this overview. I once heard somewhere online - most likely on KZread - a distinctive and refreshingly different orchestral arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major where all the strings - Violins and the Cellos - really aggressively "attacked" the beinning of each stroke, and the pizzicatos were also really accentuated. Sadly, I've never been able to find it again. Could such strokes have been Martelé/Collé and is there a name for a more "aggressive" start to a Martelé stroke ? I would love to hear that version again, and perhaps identifying the style could help to track it down. Can anyone suggest similar versions please ?
