Flowing, not fast, with a gentle touch, in 6/8 time.
Key of A major with a few brief modulations to E major.
One-octave arpeggios, up and down, mostly in the left hand, in the keys of D major, A major, E major, and B major (twice), one at a time, with plenty of time to shift / move the hand. Always in root position which means the fingering is always the same. It also means that you don’t need to read any notes beyond the first note of each arpeggio.
No accidentals other than D#’s.
Almost continuous eighth note motion, with few interruptions, should make the counting easy.
This is a good exercise for wrist rotation and for developing a beautiful tone as well as evenness of touch.
