Broken bow

Broken bow is also called "maintained tone", and its symbol is "-", which is written above the note. Broken bow, as the name suggests, is also a bowing technique for breaking notes. The similarities between the broken bow and the ten bow are: whether it is a separate bow or a slurred bow, the sound should be disconnected from the sound. The difference between them is:

1. The pronunciation of Broken Bow is slightly longer than that of Dun Bow.

2. Broken bow requires the same strength when pronouncing, without elasticity. The Dun bow requires the pronunciation to be short and flexible.

3. In terms of playing method, breaking the bow requires the fingers of the right hand to maintain the strength of the bow at all times and cannot be loosened. Its pause is achieved by the stop of the bow movement, and there is no change in the pressure of the bow hair on the string. Therefore, the pronunciation is in the shape of line segments parallel to the head and tail. The pronunciation of the bow is elastic and dot-like. Broken bow, like Dun bow, can be divided into split bow (that is, one bow is played with one broken bow sound) and continuous broken bow (that is, one bow is played with multiple broken bow sounds). When playing a slurred bow, pay attention to the bow hair always sticking to the strings, and in the slurred state, the interval between notes is completed by the even pause of the bow.

To strike a bow is to lift the bow about 10 cm away from the qin barrel, and then strike down quickly. When the bow falls to the qin barrel, the fingers exert force on the bow shaft. Use the downward momentum of the bow to increase the stringing pressure of the bow hair, and at the same time cooperate with the rapid movement of the right hand to produce a powerful sound. After a bowing note is completed, the bow will jump out of the harp again under the action of its own elasticity. If the next note still needs to be played by bowing, then just hit the bow again and repeat the bowing action. If the second note is not a bow strike, let the bow fall freely and do not strike down hard. When the bow falls back to the qin barrel, the fingers do not need to exert force instantly, and the right hand should not move quickly, just enter the normal bow. Pay attention when playing the bow: When the sound is made, make sure that the bow jumps naturally, so that the pronunciation can be elastic. If the same bow segment and the same bow direction are played consecutively when the bow is played, we call this kind of bow "the same direction in-situ bow". It is to return the bow to the preparatory position for the first bow when the bow naturally jumps after playing a bow, and then perform the same bowing action in the same bow section. This kind of in-situ bowing is generally only used for drawing the bow. The speed of the two bows is not too fast. The effect is stronger and more powerful than ordinary bowing. the beginning. The whole action process is that the bow is driven by the hand to draw an ellipse on the upper and lower planes, much like shaking an eccentric wheel counterclockwise with the hand. During the performance, special attention should be paid to the back bow not to bring out the noise of rubbing the strings.
