$19. The Sustained Tone ‘The sustained tone is at once the most diffi- cult and the most important of all strokes. It is executed with whole bow, without expression and with a mere breath of tone, letting the bow move smoothly and imperceptibly. The duration of each bow should be one minute Viotti, having neglected playing for a time, Practised the sustained tone for two hours with and without finger-exercises; and then remarked B that his fingers felt as if he had never been out of practice. For those who feel timidity before an audience, the practice of the sustained tone is indispensa~ ble for steadying the nerves and giving preci- sion of bowing. It is also well to execute this bowing with a full tone, in which case the duration of the sustained tone is 80 seconds.
