Here saltato evidently indicates a thrown, rebounding bowstroke for the demisemiquavers. David uses Saltato elsewhere in his editions of Baroque music as an instruction for the use of a springing bow. It appears printed for example in his 1843 edition of the Bach Chaconne. this website. No examples, either printed or manuscript, have been found in his editions of Classical German repertoire from Haydn to Schubert, but he wrote it by hand in his personal copies of Volkmann and Cherubini quartets and it also occurs in the first movement of his copy of Mendelssohn's String Quintet op. 18. Elsewhere, as on the next stave, David seems to use it to mean what he describes in his Violinschule as hüpfend (sautillé).
