After C follows (between the group of two black keys) the key D, whichlies next to it on the rig-ht. After this comes E; next to this F (whichis placed close to the group of three black keys.) Next comes G; then A, and lastly B. After this ag-ain comes a C, and then all the 7 keysare repeated ag*ain and ag-ain to the end of the key-board. § 20.
