Continuing as on Page One, for each exercise you see the contour diagram and shorthand MS followed by the video performance. (Consult the workbook for the full MS.)
After that come two rhythmic variations - one in six-eight and one in four-four. You will play these only after you have (at least) browsed the Collected Variations A-Z and AA Series pages.
Last in each blue exercise box is an interval variation - the exercise played in sixths or tenths. Browse the Sixths and Tenths pages if needed before you dive in.
