  2. 1. Mechanics and acoustics of violin bowing : Freedom, constraints and control in performance

    Author : Erwin Schoonderwaldt; Anders Askenfelt; Knut Guettler; Jim Woodhouse; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; bow-string interaction; bowed string; violin playing; motion capture; bowing parameters; performance control; Other physics; Övrig fysik; Music; Musikvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses sound production in bowed-string instruments from two perspectives: the physics of the bowed string, and bow control in performance. Violin performance is characterized by an intimate connection between the player and the instrument, allowing for a continuous control of the sound via the main bowing parameters (bow velocity, bow force and bow-bridge distance), but imposing constraints as well.

    Abstract : The towers of the Stockholm skyline twine with radio transmissions, flying out over the city, drifting down through the streets and sinking into the underground telephone system below. Stockholm has buildings that have been there for centuries, but is also full of modern and contemporary architectures, all jostling for their place in parallel collective memory. READ MORE

  5. 3. The bowed string

    Author : Knut Guettler; KTH; []
    Keywords : Bowed string; violin; musical acoustics; musical transient; anomalous low frequencies; Helmholtz motion;

    Abstract : Of the many waveforms the bowed string can assume, theso-called "Helmholtz motion" (Helmholtz 1862) gives the fullestsound in terms of power and overtone richness. The developmentof this steady-state oscillation pattern can take manydifferent paths, most of which would include noise caused bystick-slip irregularities of the bow-string contact. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ups and Downs, Violin Bowing as Gesture

    Author : Peter Spissky; Lärare (Musikhögskolan); []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; musical gestures; musical interpretation; baroque music; embodied music cognition; historical performance practice; Historically informed performance; baroque dance;

    Abstract : This thesis is an inquiry into musical interpretation and performance. It builds on my practice as a professional baroque violinist. Qualitative analysis of the video documentation of my individual practise, rehearsals, and concert performances is the core method of the project. READ MORE
