24 Preparatory Exercises Op. 37

Description Aloys Schmitt: Preparatory Exercises Op.16 This tutor book is jammed packed full of exercises that are specially designed for acquiring the greatest possible independence and evenness of the fingers.

Dont Kreutzer Rode: three of the most prominent Violin pedagogues of the nineteenth century are united here in one volume. At the outset of the nineteenth century Rodolphe Kreutzer and Pierre Rode each composed epochal collections of studies (see HN 1177 and HN 1186); in 1852 as an introduction to these two standard works Jakob Dont wrote his exceptionally helpful 24 Preparatory Exercises op. 37 which even today no student of the Violin can avoid. Their success is also evident from the fact that numerous revised editions were published in the twentieth century by violinists such as Hans Sitt Carl Flesch or Ivan Galamian. Now for the first time G. Henle Publishers’Urtext edition restores access to the unadulterated original with Dont’s authentic fingering and bowing suggestions in an outstandingly legible musical text. The prominent Violin pedagogue Paul Roczak acted as a consultant for this edition and carefully supplemented Dont’s original marking.

Newly Revised by James & Susan McKeever-Fundamentals Of Piano Technique was developed by Leon Conus (1871-1944) and Olga Conus (1890-1976) during many decades of teaching and performing and through association with the most prominent Russian musicians of the time – including Rachmaninoff Scriabin and Medtner. The exercises in this method are concise and efficient focusing on the elements of good playing: control touch nuance and musicianship. This book can be used by students at all levels of development and with all shapes and sizes of hands. The preparatory exercises allow students to begin using the book within their first year of lessons. Asystematic approach allows the hands to develop gradually avoiding dangerous tension or muscle damage. Topics include: preparatory exercises; extension exercises; five-finger exercises; flexibility of the thumb; trill exercises; scales & arpeggios; wrist development; double notes and more.

1600 Exercises - Intonation Rhythm And Tonality (Vol.1 - 1000 Exercises) is the first of a method in two volumes written by Jules Arnoud featuring 1000 exercises out of a set of 1600. This highly progressive method was written and tailored for music theory students starting from beginner level to help them acquire the basics of rhythm tonality and intonation. Its very first lesson is about discovering the different notes on the stave and each theme focuses on a special rhythm which gets introduced by a preparatory exercise before a lesson on the subject and more exercises for application. This first volume is followedby the second one which includes the last 600 exercises of the method.
