II. In ascending- with the rig-ht hand,at the moment of striking- a key with any one of the fing-ers eng-ag-ed, the thumb passes underneath and a little beyond it, so as to arrive above its own key in time to fall upon it vertically. In descending-, the thumb first rises vertically from its key, as the one immediately below it is struck, and then passes freely outwards at the moment of striking- the next after this. Consequently, the thumb arrives above its own key before it is wanted, when playing- descending- groups of four notes. The movements for the left hand correspond to those for the right, but in the opposite di­rection, the ascending- movements of one hand being- the same as the descending-movements of the other.
Right Hand.
