• This bowing makes retakes unnecessary and prevents a surge on the 8th note • Hold the long note full value and full dynamic • Stop the bow cleanly without noise • Leave enough bow for the 8th • Make the 8th note with same intensity as the long one • Subdivide by 8th notes for accurate rhythm • In baroque music, double-dotting will be bowed this way • Common mistake: loss of clarity after the rest • Common mistake: wishy-washy rhythm
