A good question, Dr. Mardinly. What one notices, though, is that when violins,
violas, cellos and string basses have their strings plucked rather than bowed,
the sustain of the note is short (string basses doing by far the best, and
violins doing the worst with pizzicato - plucked notes). It t

Disdain for either early or later music is foolish. Duke Ellington is reputed
