col legno Explanation: The term (literally, "with the wood")is generally written in Italian in musical scores. It is an instruction to a musician playing a string instrument, such as a violin or cello, to hold the bow back to front and strike the strings with the wooden stick, instead of bowing with the horsehair. |
