Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The fingering of a right-hand scale having a given number of sharps corresponds to that of a left-hand scale having the same number of flats, and vice versa.
