Etudes, 60 Selected, Piano

Purpose:â?¢ To enhance the foundational musicianship of each student and aid in the development of technique theory and sight reading skills.â?¢ These etudes were selected through Dr.Hagueâ??s extensive study of all available Czerny etudes. Her goal was to find musically interesting and pianistically satisfying pieces at this level. The editors have found that the study of Czerny etudes is enjoyable for students and yields enormous benefits for pianistic and musical development. Czerny is one of the great piano pedagogues and has provided us with a rich legacy that we are privileged to share with future generations of pianists.

Par HENSELT ADOLPH. The composer and pedagogue Adolph von Henselt (1814?1889) can truly be considered one of the founding fathers of the Russian School of piano playing. He counted among his pupils Nicolai Sergeyvich Zverev, the teacher of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Rachmaninoff considered Henselt?s Etudes the equal of those by Liszt and Chopin for their great beauty. Henselt?s music was well-known in his time, and in the repertoire of the greatest virtuosos of the 19th century, including Clara Schumann (who premiered his F minor Concerto with Mendelssohn conducting), Franz Liszt, Hans von Bülow, Vladimir de Pachmann and Alexander Scriabin. The two sets of Etudes Opp. 2 and 5 were composed just before Henselt moved permanently to Russia and each set was originally published as two books of six études. This new Edition Peters Urtext edition collects each set in its own volume, together with, in volume 1, a selection of Henselt?s Exercices préparatoires and, in volume 2, two additional etudes. It is edited by Daniel Grimwood, one of the composer?s most highly regarded interpreters, whose recording of the complete Etudes is available from Edition Peters Sounds. This is the only available modern Urtext edition of these important piano works. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Etude / Piano

Etudes – but with a difference!Few of today’s piano teachers would choose to restrict their pupils´ repertoire to the strictly ‘classical’ and this broadening of approach – to include pieces in a range of styles is clearly reflected in the syllabus selections of most examination boards. With this in mind Mike Cornick´s new set of piano ‘feel’ as well as the expected classically-styled exercises. Pupils of middle grade standard will find these pieces attractive an stimulating – each piece focusing on a particular technical or interpretative aspect of piano playing. For teachers selection an appropriatestudy table has been provided giving details of key style time signature and rhythm.
