About this exposition

Name: Sakura Goto Main: subject Baroque Violin Supervisor: Dr. Inês de Avena Braga Title of Research: Bow technique in Jean-Marie Leclair’s violin works – focusing on the ‘slurred staccato’ Research Question: What is the ‘slurred staccato’? How can the ‘slurred staccato’ present in Leclair’s works be interpreted? Who influenced him and who has he influenced? Summary of Results: The purpose of this paper is to focus on the ‘slurred staccato’ found in Jean-Marie Leclair's (1697-1764) works, from the perspective of style, character of movements, key, bow direction in actual performance, etc. ‘Slurred staccato’ is a sign notated as dots with a slur. This paper aims to clarify the effects of ‘slurred staccato’, and to look at how those ‘slurred staccatos’ can be interpreted in Leclair’s works. ‘Slurred staccato’ is the technique of playing two or more notes with one bow, separating each note shortly. It first appears in vocal music such as a trill or ornamental notes, then it gradually appears in instrumental music in the early 17th century. But at first it appears almost as a vibrato or tremolo, and is therefore a little different from ‘slurred staccato’, which developed especially as a violin-specific technique during the 18th century. This technique was first seen in the violin music late 17th-century Germany, but in France it is rarely seen before the generation of Leclair. Leclair was one of the earliest composers who used this technique in France in the early 18th century. In this period, this technique was found mainly in slow tempo movements, but Leclair uses it frequently in fast tempo. His virtuosity appears in this point. In conclusion, he pursues both the brilliant virtuosity and comfort of playing using advanced techniques, and ‘slurred staccato’ is one of them. His violin techniques and music has definitely influenced contemporaries and later composers and performers. Biography:Sakura Goto was born in Tokyo.
