Bowings and stickings: "Polovtsian Dances"

Last June 3, GROVER PRO published a video on which I explain the relationship between the bow strokes on string instruments and the stickings on the snare drum. It is a continuation of the one that I already published using Falla´s “The Miller´s Dance” as an example , which you can see HERE.

 

On this video I am using nº 17 of Borodin´s “Polovtsian Dances” as an example. I show the close relationship between these two instrumental familes and how to match the phrasings of the instruments that we play with.

…et in Arcadia ego.
