n°16: Chords
|
|
 |
This is the typical
chord for the harp: it involves the 1st, 2nd and 4th fingers. You can
play them quickly one after the other (it's an "arpeggio"),
or you may play them altogether (carefully folding up all the
fingers inside the hand): it's a "non-arpeggiated"
chord.

|
 |
Opposite view:
notice the unchanged angle between the thumb and the forefinger, and
the little finger which isn't tensed towards the outside.
|
 |
 |
The same with 4 fingers. |

Opposite view
with 4 fingers. The little finger is unable to stay folded up inside
the hand, but it stays in the extension of the 4th finger.
|
|
 |
An other kind
of chord: try it only if you're confident with the previous technique.
With it you can play 2 strings separated by an octave (E and lower
E: this is a "bourdon") and stiffling them shortly after
(by sticking the whole hand to the strings). For that you may use the
1st and the 3rd or 4th fingers, as you wish (and according to your hand's
length!).
