A Short Presentation of Bows
The bow – often seen as merely an accessory to the instrument – is in reality a marvel of refined technique and expressive power. “The bow is the sound,” Yehudi Menuhin once said. A bold statement, but one that invites reflection on the special relationship between musician and bow.
In his lecture A Short Presentation of Bows, Emmanuel Carlier, master bow maker from France, takes the audience on a short but compelling journey through the history of the bow. He explains where the bow comes from, how it has developed over the centuries, and how its form and function have influenced the playing and sound of string instruments. He also looks to the future: what do wood protection and sustainability mean for the art of bow making and for music itself?
