<<If you can not play with good tone on a long note, you have
little chance of good tone in passage work.>>

I suppose, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to practice long tones
first. There are plenty of players whose tones go to hell when the fingers
start moving. Long tones won't help them. That seems to me to be a bigger
problem in players than those who sound fine in passagework but lousy on
single notes. I can't even think of any such players at the moment, actually.
