Anyone recognize this exercise?

Hold C with your third finger and play a D minor arpeggio with 4, 5, 4, 2, 1 with both hands. The exercise is labeled #11 and the instructions is in Italian, the chord later changes Gm7, Gm6, E and A.

Try this site and type in the Italian. It will give you a fairly good translation of the instructions to the exercise.

What's the Italian?

OK Bob, I'll explain it as best I can. You see the original poster was asking about a piano exercise (OOPS, an assumption) and the poster mentioned that the instructions were in Italian.

Now, he didn't mention that 'Italian' referred to the language, so that's what I assumed.

So, my reference to 'Italian' appears to some to be equally vague as well.

Perhaps to clarify things, the original poster can elucidate us as to what he meant by 'Italian' and only then an appropriate response be generated to the benefit of all.

Yes sorry, the instructions were in Italian (me knows a little italian  ) and meant that the note C was supposed to be held throughout the exercise. I was wondering if anyone perhaps knew who wrote the exercise or what set of exercises it comes from. I found it on an old single A4 paper.

It sounds like Brahms, exercise number... Something.. Someone has obviously stolen them! But it's brahms, 51 exercises.

Yea I looked through them, but it didnŽt correspond with #11, IŽll look closer.
