Although countless books have been written on the subject of playing the
piano, not many have been written on how to practice playing the piano.
This vintage book aims to do just that and attempts to present a method
that constitutes "the surest means for the pupil's guarding against a
wrong position of hand and wrist, and for unerringly regulating the
various positions for the Legato and Staccato, for octaves and double
trills in one hand, and also of forming a correct fingering". With
simple instructions and a wealth of helpful hints and tips, "How to
Practise on the Piano - Reflections and Suggestions" is ideal for novice
piano players. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce
and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
First published in 1901.
