Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Synthetic Method for the Piano-Forte: A Systematic Development of Notation, Rhythm, Touch, Technic, Melody, Harmony, and Form
As soon as the pupil has gained a moderate control over the muscles of the fingers and hand, the use of the metro nome is advocated, until the idea Of absolute steadiness of time has been acquired alike by muscles, nerves, and mind, in the form of a fixed habit. Firmness and steadiness of step underlie all the developments of the running, leaping, and dancing, with the feet; and the same firmness and steadiness of finger action are indispensable as the basis of all piano-forte runs and leaps; in brief, of advanced technic of all sorts.
