Double stop

Double handles (English double stops ) are pieces of music for string instruments, those places where the player is playing several tones simultaneously. The occasional interference of double stops in the sentence is rather the exception.

Here are two strings of the instrument, as the violin, depressed with one or two fingers of the left hand and painted at the same time with the bow.

Many stringed instruments have no frets, so it is difficult to make the sound clean. Since there is no sound to another exactly the same distance, it is even harder consequences of double stops to play clean.

The Sonatas and Partitas for violin by Johann Sebastian Bach and the Violin Concertos and Sonatas by Giuseppe Tartini illustrate the highlights of the multi- grip technology in the music of the High Baroque. The use of " Doppelflageolett ", ie the generation of Flageoletttönen on two strings at the same time, by Niccolò Paganini was another milestone of this technique.
