Features:
Etudes are musical compositions that focus on improving technique. Book 1 in this series features high quality elementary piano etudes by famous pianist-teachers in a variety of styles. Each etude is prefaced with useful composer facts and practice advice. Technical study at the elementary level is characterized by playing in parallel motion and contrary motion in five-finger patterns, simple hands-together coordination, two-note slurs, three-note slurs, basic articulations (staccato, legato, repeated notes), broken chords, and more.
When pupils are assigned good-quality etudes, their technique improves dramatically. Book 2 in this series features late elementary piano etudes by such noted composers as Czerny, Gurlitt, Köhler, Löschnorn, Rebikov and Schytte. The compilation concentrates on level-appropriate essentials such as shaping phrases with two and three voices, playing a left hand melody with right hand chords, extended hand positions, melodic octaves, Alberti bass, descending scales and more. Each etude is prefaced with concise composer facts and helpful practice advice.
The etudes in this third volume are at the early intermediate to intermediate levels. Featured composers are Beyer, Burgmüller, Gurlitt, Hässler, Pleyel, Schytte and von Weber plus others. Pupils are engaged with such important technique builders as playing broken chords, descending scales, cross-hand arpeggios, chord voicing, legato pedaling, scale figures, small rotation, interlocking hands, right-hand chord inversions, left-hand repeated intervals and much more. Once again, composer facts and practice advice are included.
Book 4 is filled with tuneful and challenging etudes that are sure to please while focusing on specific concepts such as melody voicing in chords, tone production, phrase shaping with disjunct melody, chord leaps, arpeggios, trills, melody shared between the hands, chromatic scales, parallel motion scales, shaping melody in a complex texture, octave tremelos and so on. Composers featured are J. C. Bach, Burgmüller, Gurlitt, Reinhold, Gasparini, Rebikov, Czerny, Streabbog, Schumann, Duvernoy, and more.
