THE ELEMENTS

OF

PIANO-PLAYING

NEW YORK: G. SCH1RMER

1898

HAROLD B. LEE LIBRARY

BRS YOUNG UNWERS.TY

PROVO, UTAH

The Elements of Piano -playing*.The elements of piano -playing, the fundamental re-

quirements for the performance of any given piano -

piece, consist in the player's complete control overthe movements of his fingers and hands. Not until

this is obtained, can he convey to his hearers his ownmental and emotional conception of a composition.

The surest way of obtaining such perfect control overall the fingers, as to make them act on the keys withprecisely the greater or lesser degree of force desired,

is by practising the following carefully arranged exer-

cises. They should be practised daily, and repeated asmany times as possible.

A. BIEHL. Op. 30.
