Down-bows are not used always on beat 1; retakes are sometimes used where not necessary, or where difficult:\u00a0 A retake creates agogic accent by shortening preceding note<\/b>.\u00a0 Herb Myers speculates that what we have been assuming about the weight of the down-bow on beat one may be due more to the silence before it.\u00a0 Consider the difference between the gigue openings of Muffat and Mont\u00e9clair:\u00a0 both have a down-bow on beat one, but Mont\u00e9clair’s is more accented of necessity because of the retake.\u00a0 Maybe the up- and down-bow were considered more equal than we have thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing to point out is what might be called “liaison.”\u00a0 While a retake virtually ensures a small silence between the notes, the simple change of direction may be detached or it may be elided. \u00a0It’s interesting that among all the examples of Muffat, Mont\u00e9clair, and Dupont, there are only four instances of notated ornaments occurring on retakes<\/b>:\u00a0 the one in m.4 of the Mont\u00e9clair Sarabande, two in his Loure, and one in a Gavotte-like mvt.\u00a0 There are only three instances of notated ornaments on craquer bowings:\u00a0 all in the Dupont Minuet (All Myers’ extrapolations?).\u00a0 That’s why the change in the pattern in the 2nd meas., 2nd strain of the Mont\u00e9clair Sarabande is so intriguing:\u00a0 it seems like the only reason for breaking the pattern is to provide a liaison for the port de voix\u2026just one more thing to think about in making bowing choices.<\/span><\/p>\n
