What an amazing performance from Andrew and perfect analysis from you. I used to play with the weight of the bow only, with any pressure, only horizontal movement. When I switched to Viola suddenly everything starts to go wrong... So I added vertical pressure and started to squeeze and kill the sound. This bread sound concept, and to hug the bridge with an efficient and relaxed movement it's priceless.. And a must to have this projected sound. I'm still with a small sound, but now much better then it was on violin.
