Wrist - exercise.Detached Thirds and Sixths.

Lift the wrists well after each stroke, holding the arms perfectly quiet; the wrist should be supple,

and the fingers firm without stiffness. Practise the first four measures until an easy wrist- movement is

obtained; then take up the rest of the exercise.

Legato Thirds.

We recommend careful study of this exercise, as Thirds occupy a very important place in difficult music.

All notes must be struck evenly and very distinctly.

^SffiFScales in Legato Thirds. It is indispensable to practise scales in legato thirds. To obtain a smooth le-

gato, keep the fifth finger of the right hand for an instant on its note while the thumb and 3«* finger arepassing over to the next third; in the left hand, the thumb is similarly held for an instant. Notes to beheld are indicated by half- notes.$ Proceed similarly in the chrormatic scale further on, and in all scalesin Thirds.

ess, and the unoccupied lingers should assume a sngnuy rounaea position.

first repeat these three first lines slowly until a good wrist- movement is attained, and then accel-

the tempo, continuing the exercise without interruption. If the wrists become fatigued, play morer until the feeling of fatigue has disappeared, and then gradually accelerate up to the first tempo.

Scales in Octaves in the 24 Keys.

First practise each of these scales until it can be executed with facility; then play through all 24 with-

out interruption.

We cannot too strongly insist on the absolute necessity of a proper wrist- movement; it is the only meansof executing octaves without stiffness, and with suppleness, vivacity and energy.

See the explanations for N°.s 48 and 51.

The Tremolo.

To properly execute the tremolo, it should be played with the same rapidity as the roll on the drum.

Practise slowly at first; then gradually accelerate the tempo until the movement indicated (M.M.J =72) is

reached. Finally, by oscillations of the wrists, the rapidity is still further augmented up to the tempo of the

drum -roll. This etude is long and difficult-, but the excellent result will fully repay the pianist for the trou-

ble and fatigue encountered. Steibelt made his hearers shiver by his execution of the tremolo.

liiitiiiiiiiiiiConcluding: Remarks.

Now that the student has practised this entire volume, he is acquainted with the chief mechanical diffi-

culties; but, if he would enjoy the fruit of his toil, and become a real virtuoso, he ought to play this entirebook through every day for a certain time 5 only in this way can he familiarize himself with these great dif-

ficulties. An hour is required to play the book through.

The greatest artists find it necessary to repeat daily exercises for several hours, merely to "keep up their

playing." We should not, therefore, be accused of exaggerating the matter when we require of a student aspiring

to true virtuosity, that he should play these exercises through every day.
