Observe the rhythm carefully. Do not play fast at first. Neglect expression until the piece can be played through at least three times in succession without mistakes. Do not practice it loud,but mezzo,simply. Later you can work up the crescendos and diminuendos.
A Study in quick changes of positions, to be carried out in strict time. At first slowly, but later quite fast Play the 16ths in measure, slightly marking the third and giving the measure accent in its proper place. In consequence of the rapidity with which this study is to be played, no changes in position of the wrists are to be undertaken. Carry the hand in the usual five-finger position. Neither is it necessary to make a positive staccato upon the last tone. The measure accent, together with the quick taking up of the hand will be staccato enough. diminuendos. CONRAD KÜHNER.
This graceful little study is most excellent for practice in the weak portion of the hand. The melody in the first part must be kept distinct from the accompanying chords which are to be executed in a rather staccato manner. In the second part the order is reversed. The chords are connected and the right hand is the subordinate part. The piece is capable of the closest study. Keep up the practice until ease and equality are obtained, and if possible commit to memory.
