Battuto with Hair

Technical Practice
The hair can be used for a battuto type articulation. It is most effective when used toward the tip where the hair is most taut. If the middle of of the bow is used, high dynamic levels will also include a percussive articulation from the bow wood. The clarity of articulation diminishes closer towards the frog.

Notes
Stefano Scodanibbio's Geografia Amorosa makes extensive use of this technique. 

Dynamic Range: pp-mf
Difficulty: 2
Special Notes: 
Notation
