People are Talking: UMS Presents Gil Shaham Bach Six Solos with original films by David Michalek:
Shaham must have been using a baroque bow for that movement. That is the hand position for a baroque bow.
I am not a string player, but I have a question about technique. I noticed that for at least part of the Partita No. 1, (the piece immediately before the first intermission) Mr. Shahan held the bow differently than he did for most (if not all) of the remaining pieces. His hand was about 2-4 inches from the base of the bow. Does anybody know why he would have done that and what effect it had?
