# Long description

This example shows a longer keyboard exercise for left and right hands. The exercise begins in the left hand, starting on the C below middle C, ascending through D and E to G, then descending through F and D to the initial C. The right hand then plays the same melody, but starting on middle C. The fingering reads 5, 4, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5 (for the left hand) and 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 2, 1 (for the right hand). This entire 14-note pattern is then repeated four times, in each instance starting one note higher than the last (first on D, then E, then F). The fingering of each repetition is the same.
