Violin ricochet stroke: The Way of the Fist

Let's explore the ricochet bow stroke with examples from the "ini"s: Bazzini, Paganini, and Rossini. Instead of just 3 Variables, we've got 4... and we've also got a technique borrowed from Cobra Kai.
Visit me at natesviolin.com for much more.
0:01 Introduction and examples: Bazzini Dance of the Goblins, Paganini 1st violin concerto mvt 3, Rossini William Tell Overture
1:15 Ricochet, like spiccato, has an on-string equivalent
2:21 The 3 Variables
2:42 Rossini revisited: finding it on-string
3:35 The Way of the Fist
4:24 Dance of the Goblins throw-down
5:02 A fistful of Paganini
6:02 Continue if you want to go in-depth...
6:15 Four variables, not three
7:38 I must be changing something...
8:27 What affects the speed of the ricochet notes? Force, height, amount of bow, and contact point
10:33 What happens as ricochet approaches "infinitely fast" or "infinitely slow"?
11:50 From gentle to aggressive: the vertical to horizontal ratio
12:30 Wrapup

The intro made me laugh😂 Thank you - ricochet always felt like a gamble for me but you helped me understand how it works - also, never noticed how the sound point affects speed!!

I love your videos, always great teaching! I use your MVP a lot for myself and my students. I found your site years ago and it has helped me understand missing elements of my technique. Thank you for all of this content and all the best for 2021! The way of the fist. Love Cobra Kai!

No mercy! Lol Love your videos! Thanks. String crossings (Paganini 9) are difficult for me.

I'd have the same advice as far as finding the on-string cleanliness first... make sure the arm is exactly synced up with the string levels while you slur those ricochet groups!

Thank you so much, great video! Can you recommend an etude that focuses on ricochet alone? Also, can you consider making a video about ricochet with string crossing and tips on switching between normal detache and ricochet please?

Thank you for this video maestro Cole. I'd ask you about some other things that you may include in another video - how much bow hair is to be used in order to make the sound we want to achieve? should the bow have a specific tightness so it bounces in a better way? what differences are there between the strings since each string creates a different resistance to the bow hair, perhaps have a lighter touch and more speed on the E string, and a more aggressive touch and less speed on the G string? and because you talked about the fist grip, I wonder if the attack (down motion) comes from the elbow, the shoulder or the wrist? Thank you again!

3:48 Do it with the fist: YES, because why? Because the *bow* is doing it. Trust the stick. Speaking of which, what stick are you using? 6:04 "Unless you wanna get nerdier, let's face it, if you are here you probably do...." lol You lost me with the fox, the chicken, and the corn, but I totally "get" the variables when it comes to violin, hah, after all these years of messing with those. Question: Why do you start with describing things in terms of how some notes would be executed if played on the string? Does it have to do with pressure, "feel"? And finally, you don't discuss what part of the bow to use. (Possibly the 5th variable?) I've figured it out over the years - like you, experimenting - but it seems to me thatI have to get higher in the bow for the faster stuff. Best wishes, Nathan. Your world tour with Bach last spring, and the summer Violympics were major bright spots in my covid year. Thank you so very much.

On the string can better expose unevenness for right hand up and down bow sound. Also, the way the bow is held off the string is the same as on (the only thing changes is how the hand feels and changes for each different part of the bow).

Lol the fox, chicken, and corn thing made me laugh. "Something about a farmer, and they have to cross a river." 😂 Also...hi I'm in MN too!
