8Craquer (fr 'to crackle') A dry and brilliant sound Evidently the term 'craquer' was first used in reports of 17th-century violin playing in France (e.g. by Georg Muffat, when explaining in 1698 the practice of Lully's followers) It is a type of bowing where two (or more) notes (as shown in ex 1) are played in one bowstroke.
10but where each of the notes is distinctly articulated Usually performed up-bow and in fast time, craquer is indicated by dots under a slur, the length of the slur indicating the number of craquer notes to be included in one bowstroke

14Cras, Jean (Emile Paul) (b Brest, 22 May 1879, d Brest, 14 Sept 1932) French composer Unlike Roussel, Cras did not desert the navy, but became a rear-admiral After 1900, as a close friend and pupil of Duparc, he wrote numerous works in various genres songs, piano pieces, symphonic and chamber works (a particularly fine string trio, quartet and piano quintet), and an opera, Polypheme (text by Albert Samain) This opera won the first prize of the City of Paris in 1921 and was awarded a special production at the Opera-Comique in December 1922 Ever mindful of the primacy of the text, Cras used a style of recitative similar to psalmody Many of his compositions, as for example the symphonic suite Journal de bord (1927), reflect his interest in the sea A virtuoso Piano Concerto (1931), his last work, was dedicated to his daughter Colette Cras, who played in its first performance

35Crappius, Andreas (b Luneburg, c 1542, d Hanover, 8 Jan 1623). German composer and theorist He matriculated at the University of Wittenberg on 12 July 1565, but he took no degree On 28 March 1568 he was appointed Kantor of the Lateinschule and of the Marktkirche, the two most important musical positions in Hanover, and he held them until he retired in 1616 His output reflects his activities in these posts His three masses, which are parody masses, and his motets (1572 and 1581) show that he was a competent composer of polyphony, and his three-part songs (1594) are more contrapuntal than such pieces often were His primer of 1599, dedicated to 54 of his pupils, including the infant Melchior Schildt, contains 14 canons as exercises
