Slowly at first. See that the middle note is distinct.

Exercise 18.
![\relative c'' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 12/8 c( d e) b( c d) a( b c) g( a b) f( g a) e( f g) d( e f) c4\fermata \bar ".." }
\addlyrics { a }
\addlyrics { e }
\addlyrics { i }
\addlyrics { o }
\addlyrics { oo }](http://upload.wikimedia.org/score/r/h/rhh2wf3uj6p63bncuoa5aij94orp32e/rhh2wf3u.png)
and up.
In Exercises 16, 17, and 18 care must be taken not to unduly accentuate the first note of the group of three.
Exercise 19.
Staccato.
![\relative f' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f f4^! f^! f^! f^! | f^! r r2 \bar ".." }
\addlyrics { oo o a e i }](http://upload.wikimedia.org/score/s/z/szar1332j4xya45a6ux4x1plttiuudi/szar1332.png)
and up.
The staccato must be effected by a sharp inward movement of the abdomen, similar to an attack (see Chapter IV); but no breath must be taken between the notes.
