spiccato

Spiccato is generally held to be more difficult than staccato; yet I myself find it easier.

And in a technical way spiccato bowing, which many find so hard, has always been easy to me.

In light spiccato and staccato the detached notes should be played always with a single stroke of the bow.

In a very broad spiccato, the arm may be brought into play; but otherwise not, since it makes rapid playing impossible.
