The importance of scales and arpeggios, particularly with regard to the pianist's ability to perform, cannot be overestimated.

"I don't like to practice, never have. but whem I do get started at the piano, for the firsh 10 minutes I play scales, slowly. I've done this all may life. Listen to the sounds you make. the sound of each tone will generate a response in you. It will give you energy."
