Well, it's not a wolf tone, Dr. Bill. That I can guarantee you! ... though wolf tones are interesting to read about.
Here's what one of the maestronetters posted:
it is propably a strong staccato played sul ponticello (italian for on the bridge)you can listen to it in many 20 century works, (second movement of prokofiev violin concerto no1, bartok solo sonata, etc)as you know the sound in music shouldnt always be beautiful and mellow, sometimes this harsh sound delivers the pain and anger in music much better than a long , full of vibrato cantilena on g and d strings.2- playing sul ponticello for can be sometimes very difficult. i am playing know the second quartet of janacek and the first violin part has some very fast passages sul ponticello, and i had to work a lot for it.
Add edit: Here's what a second poster posted:
It may be a series of downbow chords played forte. Other than that it might be some sort of martelle storke.
I'm still not seeing the Italian term that is lazily sipping wine in the back of my brain...still haven't heard from my daughter either--she'll know!
There's another post I'll add here, too, soon as I find it.
Bow regards,
WolfWind
