[MUSIC]
So, when does Sautille sort of stop

being Sautille and be more of a Spiccato?

That's a good question.

I would say,

I would submit to you it really has
to do with the speed of the stroke.

Sautille generally speaking
like I showed in the past.

[MUSIC]
Is a stroke whereby you're kind of letting

the bow sort of take flight on its
own while moving pretty rapidly.

[MUSIC]
So if I were gonna play, for example,

the first measure over and
over again of the two.

[MUSIC]
Over and over again.

You can see that's pretty
much a Sautille stroke.

[MUSIC]
And you can practice this.

This is a little bit harder.

And if you can kind of get through
this entire etude that'd be great.

I'd love to hear that.

Send that to me see if you can

just continue
[MUSIC]

at that speed.

That's not easy, all right?

That being said.

If you were to do this and then let's just
for arguments sake or just for an example.

Let's just say that there
was a retard written in for

example or
sort of some type of deceleration.

For example, I'll show you.

[MUSIC]
All of a sudden I'm not

really doing Sautille anymore.

And to be able to kind of
dovetail from Sautille and

something that's more
like Spiccato like this.

[MUSIC]
And back and forth.

[MUSIC]
I would try to sort of work

on just going on open strings,
[MUSIC]

to the point where you can kind of stop

the motion of the Sautille and
start to feel

like you're controlling the strokes.

That is just a skill in and
of itself to work on.

So you can actually show me
that with just a G major scale.

[MUSIC]
And you don't have to be completely

rhythmic, doesn't have to be anything,

like I said, with the metron because you

weren't really changing the speed.

This is probably just to be sort
of a drill more than anything.

But I would try that and see how well
you can kind of be able to kind of alter

the stroke,
[MUSIC]

and not alter it up.

But I would say change the stroke and feel
like we're doing something whereby I'm

really
[MUSIC]

to something that's more off the string,

where this hair actually
does leave the string.

[MUSIC]
There are so

many different types of strokes.

There's an infinite amount of strokes,
and different flavors of a stroke,

depending on what we're playing.

Everything from a definitely a
[MUSIC]

a super,

super heavy
[MUSIC]

Spiccato,

which is almost not even Spiccato anymore.

It's just sort of a
[MUSIC]

a plodding stroke.

[MUSIC]
But

I'm still coming
[MUSIC]

on and off the string.

And there's times where I
[MUSIC],

I may even use that in an orchestral

excerpt or in a piece that I'm playing.

That being said,
I'm definitely gonna use this a lot.

[MUSIC]
Playing repeated notes in the section if

I'm accompanying another soloist,
that will happen very often.

[MUSIC]
So these are different strokes that I

really want you to try to learn,

I really want you to try to
gain control of the speed.

I'm gonna show you some more excerpts
coming up whereby we can learn how to use

the Spiccato in a particular piece and
have the ability to kind of go on and

off and change the stroke within
the actual piece coming up.
