This is followed by demonstration at the keyboard, accompanied by verbal comment on the following points of technique: Posi- tion of stool; Sitting position; Shaping of hand to keyboard; Position of elbow; State of wrist; Treatment of keys; Position of thumb. The lecturer sums up these points by playing Czerny Opus 740 no. 1 in C major. . . Useful primarily for students of the piano. . .
