"Performed by the thumb and first finger: the string struck by the thumb is stopped by it, and the first finger string left sounding." Simon Chadwick 2008 |
The musical notation shows what appears to be five seperate independent instances of Briseadh. It is worth noting that the first two indicate the stopped note as a semiquaver, beamed to the main note; the last 3 show the stopped note as a grace note. Perhaps this indicates two different ways of playing Briseadh, first as a measured note as part of the tune, and secondly as a kind of ornament.
