This etude is to be played in a lyrical manner. Think "cantabile." Accents indicate emphasis without heavy tongue or harshness. The trill in m. 14is from Bb to C and must be played as a lip trill. This etude requires well organized and carefully planned breaths in order to play complete musical phrases.

Key:
Etude Title: No. 34
Tempo: Quarter Note = 60-72
Play from Beginning to end.
Errata:
Meas. 10 should have an eighth rest at the end of the measure not a quarter rest. Meas. 10 should read the same as meas. 12.
Meas. 19 Slur the turns on beats 1 and 2

Performance Guide:
The bass-clef notes in measures 3-4, 7-8, 16, and 25-26 are written in old notation; they are to played one octave higher than written.

The dotted eighth note turns (gruppettos) consist of four tones: the next scale tone above the principal tone, the principal tone itself, the tone below the principal tone, and the principal tone again. With a turn written after a dotted note and another note having the same value as the dot, the turn is played with the last note of the turn taking the place of the dot, making it the same value as the sixteenth note that follows the turn. The first three notes of the turn are traditionally played as a triplet on the second sixteenth of the beat.

Give careful attention to the dynamics.

M. 58 clarification: The slur is notated as either a three note slur or a four note slur depending on the etude edition. The selector prefers the four note slur in this measure, but either version should be considered correct. M. 58 may be performed with either a three note slur or a four note slur.
M. 68 & 70 should have an accent on second quarter note in order to be the same as M. 65, 66, 72 etc.
M. 67 accent is on second quarter note not third.

Performance Guide:
This etude is to be performed in a light, flowing, true waltz/dance-like style.
