Hanon Exercise 60

To properly execute the tremolo, it should be played with the same rapidity as the roll on the drum. Fractise slowly at first, then gradually accelerate the tempo until the movement indicated (M.M. =72) is reached. Finally, by oscillations of the wrists, the rapidity is still further augmented up to the tempo of the drum-roll. This etude is long and difficult; but the excellent result will fully repay the pianist for the trouble and fatigue encountered. Steibelt made his hearers shiver by his execution of the tremolo.

Begin with the metronome set at 48, gradually increasing the speed up to 72.
