About this title

Review:

All these Op 261 studies are short (from one page down to four bars), forming a handy bite-sized task in a welcome variety of keys for pianists with limited practice time. Purpose-of-exercise descriptions (like 'For rotation and to equalise hand') are helpfully preserved... --Music Teacher Magazine, October 2010

...pupils can once again explore the plethora of technical conundrums with these enjoyable, melodious and, always short studies. No example is longer than 32 bars and the majority are a mere eight bars in length. They are a pleasurable way of developing even fingers in chord laying, double thirds, Alberti bass, arpeggios, scales, acciaccaturas, trills, repeated notes, shared melodies between hands and may more technical tricks. They are an absolute must for enthusiastic Intermediate students who will be able to work at many of these studies, and for advanced students to use as daily exercises. --Piano Professional, Autumn 2008
