Play the last line with authority, the chords being slightly in the arpeggio style with a stress on the lower note, the tone being firm to the end of the bow.
No. 3.
This étude is played in two ways: first, a staccato run, up bow; second, the mixed staccato and legato stroke, up bow. A free arm is desired. While the short staccato with the wrist stroke is eminently useful, the more brilliant staccato with the arm stroke is desired. Naturally, the wrist and forearm are free, though the lateral stroke of the wrist is not desired. Play in the upper third or near the point of the bow.
No. 4.
This étude is one of the most useful in the book. A free, broad, slightly detached stroke, in the lower half of the bow, is preferred to a short staccato.
