Violin

Music for violin is notated sounding with the treble clef.

When noting music for violin, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• you specify bow direction with bowing marks up-bow and down-bow down bow
• apart from ties most slurs will instruct to play the slurred notes with one bowing stroke.
• Fingering for the left hand uses numbers 1 through 4 for index finger through little finger and a 0 for an open string.
• flageolets are written with diamond-shaped noteheads.
• the lowest possible note is a G₃, the highest note without having to play in position is an A₅.
• strings are numbered from highest to lowest with roman numerals: I = E₅, II = A₄ , III = D₄ , IV = A₃
• use pizzicato or pizz. to indicate that you should not stretch but strum. arco ends pizzicato.
• if you want to play with sordine (damper), con sordino or con sord. is noted, and with senza sord. played normally again.
