XXIX.-THE TREMOLO.
The tremolo is played about the middle of the bow, the notes being repeated with great rapidity, so as
to produce a shivering effect. The arm must be kept steady and the wrist free. The notation for the
tremolo is usually abbreviated thus:--
H instead of
=4
#) I) I) I) ~ I) ~ ~
=AH or e-
~- instead of
M A llegretto.

XXXI.-ARPEGG 10.
Arpeggio is the term used for playing the notes of a chord one after another in rapid succession, as in
playing upon the harp. The middle of the bow is generally used, and the stick must be placed in such a
position that all the hairs touch the strings. The body should remain perfectly quiet, and the management
of,the bow must proceed only from the wrist and arm.

XXXVII.--EXERCISES IN OCTAVES.
The difficulty in playing Octave passages is to produce the octaves in tune ; as with each new stop the
position of the hand changes, and on approaching the bridge the distance between the first and fourth
fingers gets gradually less. These two fingers must be pressed firmly on the strings, and moved together
from one octave to another without lifting them. A free action of the wrist is necessary to move the bow
from one string to another.
Lento assai.
