Hi Xini

Maybe you should put "whilst" bowing, rather than "while"?

If not, the rest seems fine to me.

I'd forgotten the use of the term "dampen" in this context until I read your text.

I don't speak such good Musicianese, but my Stringese is not that rusty.

Really? Can you please explain the very difference between while and whilst? thanks a lot.

Hi Xini

In this particular case, in fact, you can use either form, as both can be translated into Italian (musicianese) as "mentre".

If I made the suggestion it is more because it "sounds" better to my ears.

There is no problem in translating it as it is, mine was just a suggestion, not an imperative.
