Secondary bowings.
1. The bound, or legato bowing. In this, as many notes are played at one stroke as may be found connected by the curved legato sign, or as necessitated by the phrasing. In passing from one string to another the wrist will require special watchfulness.
2. The staccato stroke. This is, as already stated, a series of martelé notes taken in one bow, and must first be slowly practised with the up bow, to the point, and with a free wrist; the thumb only exerting a slight pressure upon the stick. The staccato is also executed with the down bow, beginning near the nut.
