(5.) Here follows that very essential Exercise for the Pupil, the Chromatic Scale. In the Second part of this Method,we shall see ihat this Scale admits of three dif-ferent, though equally useful modes of fingering1. In the mean time, we have here cho-sen that which is most proper for beginners. The first and second fing-ers must al-ways be kept half bent, and never stretched out straight. As the thumb is chiefly employed,its position must be flexible and easy, and we mustparticularly observe not to strike the keys with it either too hard or too g-ently, so thatno obvious inequality may be felt between it and the other fing-ers. On the three highest notes of the scale, the thumb is not used, and therefore the fingering-is changed, by employing* so many additional fing-ers as are necessary to reach to the high-est note of the passag-e.
