 Sieb Memorial site (new tab--or--window)  Windows Media Player required all links open in (new tab--or--window)  Calvin Sieb also shares with us his interpretation of various bow strokes; and, at Siegel Productions (same as the following link) lives detailed examples of how the following bow strokes are applied in real repertoire. Also at Siegel's site is some advanced interpretive information on how Sieb saw using the bow. Violin Techniques describes Sieb's self discoveries in his way at getting at Bach chords, and is very interesting. Through Sieb's contribution, we see the colors of various strokes, and perhaps a time when like wine there was indeed a language of bow strokes beyond the basics. Does this language still exist. Drew Lecher, author of "Violin Technique: The Manual" and student of Ivan Galamian seems to think yes. I will leave it up to those discovering their violin and the violin world to answer the question for themselves, though I trend towards Mr. Lecher's view for technical and language reasons. Understanding distinction, or rather subtle difference is one way of improving on those subtle techniques--a matter of color, like spices. Enjoy Mr. Sieb's demonstrations below, and a thank you to Lois Siegel for contributing. I encountered Sieb through someone at another site a couple years ago, and Mr. Lecher has offered me wonderful solid advice.
