CHROMATIC SCALES.
11
There are three methods of fingering the Chromatic Scale, besides a special method which will be found on page 36. Of the three methods given below, that marked A is best adapted for rhythmical and vigorous scales, at a moderate rate of speed, while that marked B is suit­able for lighter and more rapid passages. The fingering marked C possesses no particular advantage, and is not often used.
The above methods of fingering are used for all chromatic scales, on whatsoever note they may begin. Thus, an ascending scale from C sharp, fingered according to method A,would begin with the 3T1 finger, and one from D with the thumb, in both hands, while a scale com­mencing on E would require the thumb in the right hand and 2™* finger in the left, and so on .

The fingering of scales in Thirds is identical with that of scales in Tenths, the hands being nearer to each other by one octave.
