But it has not so much sense reasoning about vibrato, without first considering the basics, the fundamentals of how we can create the sound. For Danilo Rossi the vibrato is the best and the most important sound accessory and it allows to characterize even more a melody.

To play with expressiveness we need to consider another important variable: the vibrato. The words, or in the case of music: the notes, will always remain the same, but what makes the result completely different is the expressiveness (given by the actor or the musician). There is a substantial difference in performance by an ordinary person or by a great actor. So speed and quantity are related.Īnother bow factor is the point of contact (bow position): playing closer to the keyboard is different from playing closer to the bridge, but the player always makes the choice before playing.Īccording to Danilo Rossi, playing in expressive way is the same thing to act a poem. Even if we use the bow slower, given a unit of measure of time, we will use less bow. The bow speed is closely related to the amount: if we use more bow, it is because we are using it faster, given a unit of time measurement. The bow management it’s fundamental for the expression, with important additions: the bow weight, the bow speed and how the players balance and modulate them. So in this way, the bow becomes infinite, and it’s a great result! Said that, the melody, should be considered as an imaginary “line” that never ends and it is so strong that never breaks. However, singing has a limit: the breath ends!Īcoustic strings players have the same limit, because the bow actually ends! Trained players have developed a skill to compensate and hide the “bow change” action on the sound…without any audible interruption. The requirement is that the expressive idea has to be generated by a need, as far as the technical part is concerned, according to Danilo Rossi, there are some fundamental techniques to be taken into consideration, first of all the creation of a phrase “line” that never stops.Īny strings instrument player has a great chance to play a phrase “melody” like a lead vocal singer: the most natural line that teaches us better what’s the phrase, what’s the expression. We asked Danilo Rossi, Principal Viola at Teatro alla Scala in Milano.Īccording to Danilo Rossi, to play in an expressive manner we need to keep in mind 2 things: a technical clear idea (of what we’re doing to be expressive) and a clear musical idea about the phrasing, the tension, the direction: all the components that make a phrase really expressive. Have you ever wondered what does it mean to play expressively with the Viola?
