Performance Guide: This etude should be performed with the eighth note as the basic pulse, with a smooth legato and good musical direction to the melodic line. The trills in mm. 4, 11, and 41 should trill to the note in the key signature. m. 21 requires a slide of the right pinky from the sixteenth note Eb to C. The Db's in mm. 21, 23, 32, and 47 should be played with the right pinky Db fingered for a smoother legato interval and to maintain the technique in the same hand.
