Paderewski. Exercises for Independence of the Fingers. Example of Modulation. I. PHILIPR, All exercises are to be transposed, following the illustration given above. Practise slowly, with arm, and strong finger- action, depressing each key to the bottom with a full, round and evga tone. Ouly the two first harmonic forms of each exercise are given, the remaining ten transpositions having to be thought out by the player, who is by this means prevented from practising in that dull, mechanical way which +9 often acts disastrously on the musical instincts of even the most gifted.
