Which term is described as detach the notes by playing one note per bow stroke?

• A. Détaché Bowing
• B. Staccato
• C. Staccatissimo
• D. Allargando

Answer: (A)

Détaché bowing describes playing each note with its own bow stroke, creating a clear separation between notes. On string instruments, when notes aren’t tied by a slur, the default approach is to use a new bow for each note, giving each attack a distinct, detached feel. This is exactly what “one note per bow stroke” means.

Staccato and staccatissimo refer to how short or crisp the notes should sound, but the marking doesn’t by itself dictate whether you use one bow per note; you can have short notes within either legato or détaché contexts. Allargando is about slowing down and broadening the tempo and tone, not about how notes are separated by bow strokes.
