Re: pizz and arco: a question

[Sarah k Alawami]

What  does the ^ symbol mean again?  I use the words as the table of symbols is 
an image only. I wrote about that some ware on this list a while ago. lol!

I'll try the mbark up.

I have slur marks. and I have not played the cello or viola in a while. Will 
the pizz  part even though it is slered will they know, play these separately, 
don't try and slur these notes because you logically cannot? Unless techniques 
have changed since the 7 years I abandoned these instruments. lol!

Thanks and I'll give it a shot.
