Shorter notes with more weight at the beginning of a note No clear examples in the Bartok score
Example 7 Chords
Playing multiple notes at once across the stringsachieved by aiming for the middle string with bow, and applying weight which causes the bow hair to wrap around the other strings. Also sometimes seen with the rolling of the bow from the lower note to the higher note. Can be started on or off the string to achieve different sounds. From off the string, you can get more of an attack Examples in Bartok: Movement 1 o Vln 2 (mm 1-4) Movement 2 o Vln 2 (mm 16, 62-63) o Vln 3 (mm 16) Movement 3 o Vlc (mm 1-7, 13, 19) Movement 4 o Vln 2 (mm 8, 19-20, 23-24) o Vln 3 (mm 17-24) Movement 7 o Vln 3 (mm 2-3, 5-6, 20-21, 23-24, 36)

Off-String Bowing One Note Per Bow Direction Example 13 Spiccato (Crisp)
A bouncing stroke that may range from slow to moderately fast, from light pianissimo to heavy fortissimo. The bow stroke has horizontal and vertical components. No marked examples of Spiccato in the Bartok
Achieves a heavier sound down bows naturally have more weight at frog, so they achieve more bite and attack of notes. Used for a darker, heavier sound No marked marcato with repeated down-bows notated in the Bartok
The wood of the bow rather than the hair contacts the string. Often the stick is dropped to the string for a semi-percussive effect, but it may also be used for long strokes or slurred groups of notes. No Collegno examples in the Bartok
Pizzicato
Example 23 Pizzicato without Bows
Plucking of the strings with the right hand, bow on the stand (used for long passages of pizzicato in which there is time then to pick up the bow before moving back to arco)
Hold the bow in the right hand in a way that you can support the frog (the weight of the bow), and wrap your finger around in order to still pluck the string. This helps you move from pizzicato to arco quickly. Pizzicato Examples in the Bartok: Movement 2 o Vln 2 (mm 41-45) o Vln 3 (mm 41-45) o Vcl (mm 1-15, 28-45) o Cb (mm 1-15, 28-45) Movement 3 o Cb (mm 1-15) Movement 4 o Cb (mm 2, 18, 28) Movement 9 o Cb (mm 1-11)
o Vln 2 (mm 41-42, 44-45,) o Vln 3 (mm 41-42, 44-45) o Vlc (mm 41-42, 44-45)
o Vln 3 (mm 9-23) Movement 9 o Vln 2 (mm 1-9, 17-21, 27) o Vln 3 (mm 7-9, 17-21, 27) o Vlc (mm 8-9, 17-21, 27) o Cb (mm 8-9, 17-21, 27)
Phrasings
Example 29 Phrasings
Adding less weight to the bow at the end of phrases in order to taper off Throughout the Bartok, there are crescendos and decrescendos at the beginnings and end of phrases; otherwise this is not necessarily marked in the score.
Alternative Bowings

Added double ups in areas to make down bows fall on the accented beats/down beats
