Before publishing the videos explaining the difficulties and goals of each piece I would like to share some basic terminology to understand what I will talk about in the next publications.
The most common duration of the musical notation and their equal in rest values are:
There are 3 types of key: C, F, and G shown in the next image.
The G key is used to read on high-pitched instruments such as violins, flutes or oboes. C key is used in medium-pitched instruments like violas and finally the F key for lower-pitched instruments like cellos, double basses and bassoons.
The normal scale (Anglo-Saxon notation) corresponds to the letters: C D E F G A B
The posible dynamics written in the compositions are:
You can change the dynamic intensity changing the speed or more weight in your right hand. This kind of techniques will be discussed in other articles.
The bow articulations refer to the different weight-speed right arm movements toward different types of sound.The last picture will show you some of the articulations used in rubbed strings instruments.
Some of this terminology will be used in the next articles.
