Definition
Hook stroke is a unit of two notes in a dotted rhythm. It can be played with various combinations of bowstrokes (see the score of Hook Stroke Bowings for the possibilities).
There are two components to hook stroke:
An active catching of the string with the bow hair (similar to martelé stroke).
A passive, rebound action, which allows a second note to sound.
This rebound can be seen as an addition to a martelé stroke - a martelé with intent!
