Bill Blount recommended this book to me and I will always be grateful. I pick
an exercise for the day. I will work on it at many different tempi but zero in
on one for the day. It's all about smooooothness and finger position and it can
be about speed and eveness. The structure of each exercise is logical. What is
it that seems unclear in its layout?
