Orchestra under the direc- tion of Hans Lange "Played to shifting scenes of great effec- tiveness. Quiet pools, sunlit at times, and splashed into tiny circles by pattering rain- drops at others, rain washing leaves and trees, waterfalls cascading down sheer cliffs into roaring whirlpools, fields of grain tossed by a mighty wind and the dash of billowing surf on a 'stern and rockbound coast' keep the eye occupied with dramatic Nature in her myriad moods, while the ear listens to the varying changes of the color- ful music."

It opens with tlie lec- turer speaking of the necessity of certain attributes of character in the good pianist. 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. . . The fundamental conditions of body, arm and hand and their relation to the keyboard are admirably illustrated and follow one another in natural se- quence." British film inst.
