From the Introduction: "It has been argued that it not only is unnecessary but inadvisable to make a study of the anatomy of the hand, of the muscles used in piano playing, and their various actions; that the mind should be upon the effect to be produced, upon tone production and interpretation and not upon mechanical actions. It is, however, the experience of the author that every pupil can be most easily reached by knowing the REASONS for everything… The first step in the beginning of technical study must be to obtain conscious control and development of the hand. If correct and intelligent methods are used from the first, there will be no mechanical or muscular distraction when the subject of interpretation is reached. The hands and arms will be under such conscious control that any desired effect will be quickly and accurately produced without conscious effort."
