👉 Bowed is a term used in the context of music, particularly in classical and jazz genres. It refers to an instrument or musical phrase where the notes are played with a particular note or finger position, often from the bottom to top or vice versa. In classical music, bowing is usually performed by the performer using their hand on a stringed instrument such as a violin, viola, cello, or piano. It is often used to create a more dramatic and expressive sound.
