KATE STEARNS PAGE
Texts by

THESE are duets in the very simplest form,
each number being preceded by the original
folk-verses, or a translation of the original. The
wholesomeness of the folk-tune principle in early
pianoforte study has been amply established, and
we offer this volume assured that it will meet with
instant success. Large notes, meticulous phrasing,
equal difficulty of parts, and "alternating hands"
melody-playing are its features beside the main
point. Of special importance are the novel marks to
indicate legato, staccato and portamento, respectively.
These consist of slurs, dots and inverted brackets
presented in an entirely original manner; and they
virtually correspond, so used, to commas as found
in ordinary English punctuation. The value of these
innovations may be estimated by remembering that
an inexperienced beginner usually reads from bar
to bar, irrespective of the grouping of the piece.
