Dear MB,

Well, for intonaton there isn't a whole lot you can do excpet 1) know what the tendencies of your instrument are on any given set of notes, and the 2) be aware and ready to adjust once your ear has told you what to do. Perhaps playing in a live hall and playing some arpeggios quickly and then listening to the feedback would help. It certainly helps at Orchestra Hall when the stage is quiet and empty. As far as exercises, though, playing along with a well-tuned piano is the best you can do.
