Complete theoretical and practical piano forte school : from the first rudiments of playing to the highest and most refined state of cultivation with the requisite numerous examples newly and expressly composed for the occasion, opera 500 . 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 + S&Si^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ir In these cases, the first note of each group of notes, whether quaver or semi _quaver, is,by means of its stem drawn upwards, played as quick as all followingnotes of the same value; but this first note is also to be considered as a minim,crotchet, &c: as the case may be, on account of its other stem; and to be firmlyheld down for that duration,while the other notes of the group are played. When a dot is placed by the side of any such note, it applies to it only in itsnature as a note held on, and has therefore no influence on the equality of thequicker notes. When the notes are written twice, as at the passag*es marked *,they are,however,only to be struck once. Hence, for example, the two first bars of the preceding- Ex. ample are, as, to distribution, played exactly thus only that the lowest note is always to be held down during* the playing* of the next three quavers. §12. Similar passag*es frequently occur in the rig^ht hand. 09. Here, and in all similar cases, the slower of the double notes must be kept down itsfull time, while the quicker notes must be proceeded with in uninterrupted smoothnessand equality. §13. From all this, the Pupil will ag*ain observe, that the holding* on of the keys is clearlyindicated by the notes, and that therefore the fing*ers must never be allowed to lie onthe keys beyond the prescribed time, and according* to mere caprice. Remark. Sometimes, both in engraved and manuscript music, the semibreve, or also theminim,is placed in the middle of the bar, instead of at its commencement; the Playermust not however be led astray by this, for the semibreve or minim must always in thesecases be struck at the very beginning of the bar.
