Excerpt from Julius Knorr's Preface: "Having published a complete Method of Piano Instruction, in which is embraced every essential requisite for the pupil's understanding of the subject, the author issues the present volume for the more special use of teachers. In it they will find hints that will assist them in imparting to the pupil that true artistic Piano touch which requires a perfect independence of joints, not only of the hand, but of each finger; an independence which cannot be obtained without that position of the hand which I have herein, as well as in my Method, laid down as the true one.".
