Bowing technique is an important aspect of double bass playing because it affects the tone, articulation, and expression of the instrument. The ability to execute virtuosic solo works on a double bass demands a significant amount of practice in addition to a high level of competence. This study investigated the fundamental approach of the righthand bowing technique in the musical selections of J.S Bach, J.B Vanhal and G. Bottesini which specifically include dynamic delivery and articulation. There are two outcomes of this study; (1) is in the form of the dissertation, while; (2) is in the form of two recitals that breaks down into two performances of Recital I and II. There are three research objective of this study. The first is to identify the bowing technical challenges in the selected works of J.S. Bach, J.B. Vanhal, and G.Bottesini. The second is to develop bowing techniques in the selected works of J.S. Bach, J.B. Vanhal, and G.Bottesini. The third is to perform the selected works in the form of Recital I and II. The methodology of this study is using an artistic research paradigm. The investigations of bowing techniques are being analysed through the score analysis and technical analysis perspective in which the finding are reported in the form of textual and video documentation. The findings of this study elaborates on the various bowing techniques on each selected work which reported in the form of artistic creative work dissertation and two recitals. |
