String Players' Digital Dictionary

Don’t know your balzato from your crémaillère? Can’t remember what the Italian term for flying staccato is? Never fear, the String Players’ Digital Dictionary has the answers.

Universally available as an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch App, the dictionary is the work of Professor Martin Jarvis, of Charles Darwin University, in Darwin, Australia.

Martin's aim was "to bring together all the odd string playing expressions I had come across over the years, many of which are not in standard dictionaries."

The words are listed in four languages:

•    English
•    Italian
•    French
•    German

Other sections of the dictionary cover:

•    Bowing styles and techniques, starting both 'on' and 'off' the string
•    Common abbreviations used in string playing
•    Parts of the string-family instruments
