Young students on being told to lift
each finger an equal height. are much
surprised to find that the third finger
or according to the German method
of lingering the fourth finger, will not
come up to the same distance as the
other fingers. In the April number
of the Etude, the liberation of the
Fourth or Ring finger is finely written
up giving the cause and remedy of
liberation, with illustrations, many of
the examples being taken from an
article on the subject by DIR. William
S. Forbes, who devised the operation
for the liberation OF the fourth finger.
We would advise piano players to
send fifteen cents for a copy of the
April Etude that they may obtain a
thorough knowledge of the weakness
of the fourth finger, which is the
"bugbear" to all piano players unless
they have had the operation Of liber-
alton performed. l.. M.
