How to Practise on the Piano - Reflections and Suggestions

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.
