As a result, only a limited number of artists are capable of executing a scale correctly. However, it is of urgent importance that the scales should be diligently practised and owing to the importance to this branch of study, scale work has been treated to great length and in every variety of key in the following pages One of the principal objectives to be gained through such study is perfect equality of sound, smooth Jegato and correct method of playing in general. Minor Scales Owing to the fact that the minur scale is naturally less rich than the major scale, examples of only the tonic and dominant have been given to offer an idea of ils resources, Chromatic Scales and Triplets The chromatic scale is one of the most essential and as its study imparts ease to the manipulation of the instrument, it has been treated at considerable length in this method, Care must be taken to press the valves down properly, in order that all the notes may be intoned with purity and fullness. ‘The study of chromatic scales imparts ease to the fingering. At first the student must practise slowly, taking lime to mark the indicated rhythms with exacting care. In this form, just as in the diatonic scale, it is necessary to increase the sound while ascending and to diminish it again while descending; in doing this strict attention should be paid to time, nor should the latter part of each phrase be hurried, as is the habit with many players. The use of a met- ronome is also recommended, in order to arrive at a precise sense of tempo and rhythmic surety, MAJOR SCALES Starting Page 63 27020-49 18 (63) 2929-49 19 pe BAT eee fe gee ented ager Earray as eer tfite, j B apo fiee ease peett 2 eee x EE tre oe , steer a Tertt fet Bie aaa eee xe woot ee x Sea TASTE 7 Cees SLR east eeieroedy: pect prince ate 27029-49 20 (ay noua 69 an 5 1929-49 ae (ea) 27929- 49 23 25 Fees oe.
