Now that's a literal bow

[@cringe937]

Its where the bow gets its name from.

[@thepinkelephant2520]

Fr!

[@sashaleifer3711]

Fun fact: baroque bows (basically the bows when the cello/violin/viola) were first made are curved slightly out like that ! If you look up a video of someone playing the viola de gamba it looked kinda like that. So it used to be more of like an actual bow shape!

[@AphroditeCabinTen]

WAIT WAIT FRRR

[@Adrian_AdamViolonDiGerma-tm3nq]

​@@sashaleifer3711 very simple design, just like a twig

[@doodle2763]

Personally I think the Elgar sounds so much better with the chord split, it just sounds so epic, even if it’s only that way due to a limitation of the instrument

[@melissaaboytes9977]

It’s not the only way you can play all four at once but based off of the piece and the type of energy you want to portray then you use different techniques it’s also just very hard not to crunch

[@topsecret1837]

IMO it sort of represents a unique element to the cello to the same way one attributes unique playing styles to the guitar. And much of Elgar would sound very different if transposed and played on acoustic guitar. Arguably the introduction passage as played here wouldn’t sound out of place in a spaghetti western movie.

[@O5680]

Obviously Elgar intended the split. There are recordings of him conducting the concerto and the split is always very pronounced.

[@Pennwisedom]

Yea, I'll be honest, this way sounds bad

[@jonychavez5404]

What piece is this?

[@ZaddyGohan]

That C9 chord played all together sounds so damn cool

[@jakefeingold1126]

For classical music like this, you'd write it as Csus2, the D is considered a "non-chord tone". The point here is that the "ninth" is understood as part of the melody and functions as a suspension as opposed to actually being part of the chord.

[@dreadformer]

C9 would be a dominant 9 chord with a flat 7 for jazz, so this is Csus2

[@Max6chen]

Csus2

[@SubiCat]

​@@jakefeingold1126 Doesn't Csus2 lack E? But he's definitely playing an E on the D string, so maybe it would be a Cadd9.

[@sabbastian]

​@@SubiCatDefinitely Cadd9 due to the E.

[@nasounicornis5834]

Never realized how much I needed to hear chords from a cello

[@pope-kk8vj]

look up this same piece but played by du pre and its the best shit ever

That 3rd chord 🤯🤯🤩

[@curtishammer748]

I was today years old when I found out why it's called a bow

[@julianbrelsford]

Throughout history up until Tourte became influential in the late 1700s, bowed instruments like violins etc used a bow that curved away from thw strings rather than toward them.

[@Mcdowge]

That bow hair so loose BUT THE GRIP😭

FUCK YEAH that opening lick with the four simultaneous strings was METAL AS FUCK

[@Lampey22]

In classical music, we don’t have licks. The closest thing we have is called ostinatos. And what he played were chords. Also, as a classical musician who is also a metalhead, many pieces from Bach is metal af. Baroque era in general tbh
