What it trains
- The greatest mechanical challenges. This part contains repeated notes, double notes, scales in thirds and in octaves, and tremolos; the content of each number will be confirmed when it is transcribed.
- Wrist flexibility and stamina.
How to practice it
- Don't start this part until you have mastered the previous two.
- In double notes and octaves the wrist stays loose: if it stiffens, stop.
- Keep sessions short: these exercises tire the hand a lot.
