The violin and cello play col legno battuto; the violin plays col legno tratto in double stops; all the instruments play col legno tratto ponticello, double stops; violin and viola play col legno tratto ponticello in double stops, which are also played tremolo (Boyden 2001; Schoenberg 1950, 1–5, 14, 18–19)
The viola is a larger version of the violin, and has on average a total body length of 27 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (69.2 cm), with strings tuned a fifth lower than a violin (with a length of about 23 + 3 ⁄ 8 inches (59.4 cm)). The viola's larger size is not proportionally great enough to correspond to the strings being pitched as they are, which ...

A harmonic is any member of the harmonic series, an ideal set of frequencies that are positive integer multiples of a common fundamental frequency. The fundamental is a harmonic because it is one times itself. A harmonic partial is any real partial component of a complex tone that matches (or nearly matches) an ideal harmonic. [3]
Harmonics: Only natural, artificial, tapped, pinched, or semi harmonic. Dynamics: Not displayed in the body of the score. Grace notes: Limited to a duration ranging from 1/64 to 1/16 of a whole note. Tremolo picking: Limited to a duration of at most 1/8 and at least 1/32 of a whole note. Slurs: Supported in the form of hammer-ons/pull-offs.
Pythagorean temperament can still be heard in some parts of modern classical music from singers and from instruments with no fixed tuning such as the violin family. Where a performer has an unaccompanied passage based on scales, they will tend towards using Pythagorean intonation as that will make the scale sound best in tune, then reverting to ...
Many acoustic oscillators, such as the human voice or a bowed violin string, produce complex tones that are more or less periodic, and thus are composed of partials that are nearly matched to the integer multiples of fundamental frequency and therefore resemble the ideal harmonics and are called "harmonic partials" or simply "harmonics" for ...
A man playing the violin. It is possible to play the violin holding it in a variety of ways. Most players hold the lower bout of the instrument between the left shoulder and the jaw, often assisted by a semi-permanently attached chinrest and detachable shoulder rest.
