ROCKYIII Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi guys, Just a quick question: What does this mean (the dark black lines between the notes)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJthesleepdeprived Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I do believe that indicates a tremolo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plutokat Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 A tremolo between two usually distant notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think they are more often than not seconds and thirds, but they don't have to be as long as it's idiomatic to the instrument it's wiritten for. For violin it must be reached by two fingers. On a piano it can be as wide as two hands, several octaves apart. And the rhythm is denoted by the number of black lines. one for 8th notes, two for sixteenth, three for 32nd notes, etc. Tremoloes are just a kind of shorthand.
