4. Tone
This piece requires smooth legato from bar 1 to bar 30 and then again from bar 69 to the end,
while the middle section needs bow control for the detached/short staccato stroke alternated with
slurs.
Use the passage between bars 64 and 69 to practise your detached bow stroke, making sure
both the up bow and down bow sound exactly the same, with the same start to the sound as well
as length of note. Practise the coordination of both hands by stopping briefly the bow on the
string before shifting to a new position. This exercise will be of great help for the fluidity of the
passage!
