Col Legno Gettato

Technical Practice
As with typical battuto performance, the bow wood strikes the string and is allowed to ricochet giving several reiterations of pitch.

Notes
This can be applied to passage based work in which groups of pitches after the initial attack can be grouped together under a slur. 
Extensive use will result in damage to the bow varnish.
