Preparatory Exercises o^-ii\o k>^\'^

9 for acquiring
the greatest possible independence and
evenness of the fingers
ALOYS SCHMITT. Op. 16

Repeat each Exercise at least ten or twenty times, but omit the closing note until the final repetition. At first, prac-
tise each hand separately, then both together, always keeping the hands steady and quiet. Practise each Exercise slow-
ly at first; increase the tempo graduallj'
as the fingers acquire the necessary strength and flexibility.
It is advisable to practise these Exercises in the kej-s and without changing the fingering.
