Some bowing issues aren’t musical. They’re mechanical.
If one direction feels easier than the other, it shows up everywhere: uneven tone, inconsistent articulation, phrases that don’t quite land the same way twice.
In this lesson segment, Daniel Lelchuk works through Feuillard bowing exercises to fix that imbalance at the source.
By reversing bowings and isolating different parts of the bow, he shows how to make up bows and down bows feel — and sound — equally reliable.
