Jervis Writes Con cerning Host Mothods of Develop ing Piopcr Conditions in the Be ginnerA System Calculated to Develop Musclo nnd Bring Belief to Tlted Nerves. AViltten for The Tribune Throe nil Important essentials In thj study of tha piano are. Position, that Is a good hand position; Condition, a piopcr condition of muscular plastic ity and repose. Action, or prompt and accurate up and down movements of tho fingers. The llrst step In the Clavier method Is the establishing of piopcr conditions of nerve and muscle, by proper con ditions is meant absolute reposo of tho nervous and muscular system. Theso conditions enn be quickly established In the very youngest pupil If tho teach ing and practice aie rightly dlreeted. A'et, many students, who have pr-w -tlced on the piano foi yeais, never su -ce'd In getting them. The leason for this Is found In tho fuct that by tho current piano meth ods, tho pupil Is taken to thu piano be fore any Intelligent idea of correct conditions Is obtained, and if she over succeeds In getting these conditions nt all, li Is only after cais ot dlscout ag ing practice. AVhen these conditions are thoiougbly established, tho next step In the method takes the pupil to the table, whole she leains to properly shnpo tho hand so that It will take tho proper position on the keyboard. After piopcr conditions and a flno position are secured, the next step Is thi development, bv means of tablo exeiches of a peifectly equal up and down action of each separate linger. At this point the Clavier method dif fers radically from tho prevailing piano methods. In all piano systems the up action of the linger which Is of su piemo impoitauee, is almost totally ignoied; evoiy piano exeuiso known to mo, cultivates the down action of the finger eeluslvely, and is a result the piano student never gets the quick action of the linger up and avvny from the key, which is the found'Ulou of all kinds of touch ns well as of techn.c. THE LEGATO TOUCH. After pel feet equality ot up nnd down action is secured with etch lin ger separately, the- fingeis are taken in palis and now begins the studv of the legato touch. As every teccher kuovvr, tho Kejnote to success In ar tistic plnno pl.uing Is the mastety of the l"gato. In tho piano methods, thnt is the Intangible something which everv pupil is ureiing and yet so in tangible Is it even in the tmeher's bialn, thnt It Is Impossible to convey nnv clear Icb a of It to the pupil. AVliilo many teacheis tuny bo able to play a pcifect legi'to, It Is next to in-pjsslblo for them to dellno how they do it, and after jenis of study the pupil Is still as far fioni any hue conception of the idea as at the beginning. Actual sta tistics prove that only about fi per cent, of all the pupils who aio sludjing tho piano ever leain to play a peifect legato. Isnvv let 1110 try and make clear to tho reader what the legato Is. The ic cl nn anlng of the word Is Joined, and ns applied t music, it is a stu cession of tones In v hleh each follo'vlng tono begins the Instant the piecedlng 0110 c ises. It h is been likened to a stilng of poails.o 'eh i)o,n I touching its neigh bor In an intlnltcsmil degree but pio servli'g its own lndiviiiiril outline, and tiom this has come the term "peail ing legato." Let us examine tln nveh nnlm of the pi me in Hon. AVhen n key Is depiesued the liaminei strikes tho string pioduclng a tone; when the key is lelcnfcd a piece of felt called th' dumper tails on the same string, and ns Its vibrations nie t'leieby stopped, the lone 'oifos. n'ow If two tones no tu be plaved legito, the Hist tone mast 1 ao to sound at the os let instant the net one loninunrr . This is onlv possible? when the two Kevs invnUfl in 1 asMng fmni key to ky, We are sure you do not. Nobody wants it. Butit comes to many thousands every year.

Instant. Therefoie the legato Is produced only by tho utmost pieclslcn In stinting find stopping tones. Now the ronton that this Is po dlflleult tc obtain nt the piano Is be cause it Is almost lmpogslble to detec t wheie the om tonp ends and the other begins, nnd It la still mote impossible to opliin it to the pupil. Tim vinniij clavikr. The Virgil Clavier Is in instalment halng .1 keyboard .similar to that of the piano. In which the keys instead of tones pioduce clicks. When the key Is depressed wo get :i click which 1111 swett. to the tone pioduced on the pluno when the rammer strikes tho btilng. When the simo key Is 1 Pleas ed theio Is also a click hlcli corres ponds to tho nctloil of the damper diopplng on the piano rtilng. Tho duty of these cHel-s ih to skeletonize each form ot touch In such u wny that It can be explained and demonstiated to tho oungett pupil with positive ex actness. Tho down nnd up clicks de fine In the most poslth- manner the bejrlnnincT nnd tnd of tho imaginary lone Just as the hammer and damper do the 1e.1l tone. By means of the Clavier and Vir gil method tho legnto touch can be thoioughly established In the mind of any and cery pupil In fteim one to three weeks' time, and furtlieimoie Instead of mak ing only the pupils out of every hun ch cd play. It makes every pupil play, bo that there arc no failures. After the legnto touch Is thoroughly established, begins the development of an accurate, reliable and artistic tech ric, and until the pupil has this- tech nlc, the li. not allowed to play pieces at all. The Clavier method develops a bet ter and moio artlhtlo technlc In six months' time than Is attained (If at t i'n el at ull), by piano pupils In from three to five jears. Tho CKnler ptudent Is taught one piineiple at a time; that principle Is ticcuiately defined nnd Intelligently undeibtood; eho knows what she l to do. how to do It, and then does It. W.th piano pupils from kson to les son neatly eerythlng Is guesswork, every lmnctot piano teacher will tell jou that thiee-fourths of every lesson hour is consumed In correcting mis takes that would not hae been made, or breaking up bad habits that would not have been formed, had the pupil possessed nn Intelligent nnd accurate Idea of what to do, and nn Infallible monitor like the Clavier to make her d ) It.

Foul and sense aro now brought to gether, all technical dlltlcultles have been overcome, and far moro perfect ly than would have been possible nt tho piano. Tho result Is a moro cor icct, nrttetlc, musical performance af ttr two or threo renderings on the piano, than would havo been secured in months, maybe years, had the prep aration all been made at tho musical instrument. Many teachers of tho piano have realized the nervous otraln under which pupils labor and nre advocatlnc physical exercises to develop muficle and bring relief to tired nerves.

I huo only been able to touch upon a few of the many points of value in tho Clavier method. In closing let me give a brief summary of the advant ages gained by the use of the Clavier and tho Vligll method. First: We can save time; for more can be accom plished In one year by the use of tho Clavier and the new method, than In three by the piano and the old meth ods. Second: V'e can tave nervous energy, and we might say this Is gieatest of all, for health Is wealth, especially to the musician. Then wo can gain: A perfect tech nlc which Is the foundation of an ar tist; a musical touch, great accuracy, and a beautiful repose. Aro not these the keynotes to the attainment of the prl-se?
