Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

This little work is issued to render the teachings of The Act of Touch better available for the School-room and Class room, and as a Text-book for Examinations.

It is intended as an Introduction to the subject. The supreme importance of early training in this subject the mechanism of playing - need not be further dilated upon here, since it has been proved that Agility itself, and all those contrasts of Tone and Duration which enable us musically to express ourselves through the Pianoforte, depend immediately on the proper fulfilment of the laws of Touch, the polemics of which have been amply dealt with in The Act of Touch.
