Knowledge of violin
Violin is thought to stem from the Latin word, Vitula. Vitulare means meant to sing or rejoice. Vitula originally means string or lute and eventually evolved into fidula and fithela. Vitula also evolved into the French word vielle and became vyelle. Vyelle then evolved to become viol and then violone.
The violin is played by resting it under the chin and the left shoulder. The left hand controls the vibrato and pitch and produce sounds that are artificial and natural harmonics. The right hand bounces or strikes the bow to shape the movement required for the effect. These effects include bow tremolo, loure, martele,portato, spicatto and staccato.
