An exercise book that will last a lifetimeBy GuidoFamilyI love this book and have never found a better all-around exercise book for the accomplished pianist. It does require an ability to work with many tonalities and modalities; requiring the student to play exercises centered on all twelve tones as well as to utilize the major; minor; and diminished scales.There are hundreds of exercises grouped into sections with basic finger studies; arpeggios; chords; octaves; other intervals etc. working on developing strength; speed; and general technical ability. While some of the exercises are more or less on the level of something like Hanon exercises; for the most part this book asks for more knowledge and proficiency; and it certainly rewards more advanced players with what it can ask of them. Its an exercise book that will last a lifetime.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Dohnanyis exercises do a better job at separating the wheat from the chaffBy pc51Very systematic and organized. Covers all areas of technique. Written as a preparatory course to Tausigs exercises; but not much easier.Dont start with this book to build technique. It is for more advanced players. Start with Schmitt or Herz; then move on to Phillip exercises for the independence of the fingers; and then maybe this book.Theyre are so many exercises it is a little overwhelming. Dohnanyis exercises do a better job at separating the wheat from the chaff. It would have been nice if he included a method of attack...2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
