The Plaidy Triplets

Among the exercises which are most easy to teach, pleasing to practice and useful to the beginner, are the easy triplet forms of Plaidy. Practice them in the manners following: (1). Always with one hand alone. (2). Carry out each fingering in turn, being very

careful to effect a perfect legato between the close of one triplet and the beginning of the next. (3). Give the left hand its turn, also carrying out all the different fingerings. They may also be transposed into other keys.
