Terminology Question
I am currently transcribing a Bernstein score ("Symphonic Dances From 'West Side Story'"), and came across a term I wasn't familiar with. In the violins, there was a par where they were marked con sord. arco. I know that con sordino is with a mute for the horns, but I have never seen it used for violins before. Any string players out there who can help me out?
