Which term is described as the tremolo-like effect on two adjacent strings?

• A. Ondulé Bowing
• B. Sautillé Bowing
• C. Détaché Bowing
• D. Staccato

Answer: (A)

Ondulé bowing creates a tremolo-like texture by rapidly moving the bow back and forth between two adjacent strings, so the two pitches alternate quickly and continuously. The term, meaning "wavy," captures this undulating sound that sustains through the bowing without rearticulating each note. This is different from sautille, which is a light bouncing stroke typically on a single string; détaché, where each note is clearly separated; and staccato, which is short and detached. So the tremolo-like effect on two adjacent strings is achieved with ondulé bowing.
