Practise slowly, with a very supple seep aad strong. finger~ action, depressing each Rey tote batom with a fallyround and even tone. “Galy the two first tiarmonic forms of each exercise are given, the remaiuing ten transpositions having to be thought out by the player, who is by this means prevented from practising in that dull, mechanical way which 0 often acts disastrously on the musical instincts of even the most gifted. With this simple material, — and brains, — with patience, conscientiousness, and careful attention, one will infallibly acquire, ina short time, ab— solute independence of the fingers.
