a Biffio, NEW EXTENSIONS OF THE BEAUTIFUL CELLO TONE
Note that one bow is held above and the other one beneath the strings. The
sketches from her website, given below, describe the various combinations of
bows. Frances-Marie Uitti adds fingering charts for composers to these sketches
which she has published on her website as well. It is hugely to her credit that she
has not just developed innovative playing techniques in decades of research, but
has also described them thoroughly and published them for public use.
The 2bows/1hand-technique has been adopted by many composers such as
György Ligeti, Vinko Globokar, Richard Barrett, Fung Lam and others. It is
especially fascinating to play strings together, which are not juxtaposed. That is
how some strings can obviously be bowed both from, above and below. It is
possible for each combination to lead to different conditions of playing
techniques as well as different tonal results.
