Das Etueden-Album

This series of five graded albums has originated on the basis of a need for a wide range of study material that would comply with all requirements of modern Piano teaching. The material is designed also to help master problems in technique and expression.Book 5 rounds off this series of studies which is primarily intended for students. Triads arpeggios and octaves now extend the range of technical problems to be practised. Early music pieces have been selected and appear between the first and second parts of the album. They should provide for a thorough practice of polyphonic music.Contents:Vivo [Zak G.]Allegro moderato [Slavicky Klement]Allegromoderato [Bach Carl Philipp Emanuel]Allegro [Bach Carl Philipp Emanuel]Moderato [Doring Carl H.]Moderato [Czerny Carl]Allegro [Berens Hermann]Andante [Heller Stephen]Andante con espressione [Doring Carl H.]Andante grazioso [Heller Stephen]Vivo [Czerny Carl]Moderato molto ritmico [Slavicky Klement]Allegro non troppo [Heller Stephen]Allegro [Czerny Carl]Allegro moderato [Doring Carl H.]Vivace [Doring Carl H.]Vivo [Berens Hermann]Fugato [Zipoli Domenico]Risoluto [Kirchner Theodor]Andante [Bach Carl Philipp Emanuel]Allegretto [Kirnberger Johann]Vivo [Burgmuller Friedrich]Allegretto [Gnesina Elena]Allegretto ben ritmico [Czerny Carl]Andante [Lebert Siegmund] [Stark Ludwig]Moderato [Gnesina Elena]Allegro vivo [Slavicky Klement]Allegretto [Heller Stephen]Moderato [Schmitt Aloys]Lento [Schmitt Aloys]Allegretto [Majkapar Samuil]Scherzando [Berens Hermann]Allegro [Berens Hermann]Allegro [Kabalevskij Dmitrij]Also published:Album of Studies for Piano.- Book 1 H 2348.- Book 2 H 2349. - Book 3 H 3511.- Book 4 H 4041.

However the book is also useful for those who would like to play modern dance music.This collection of 25 enjoyable exercises and 3 longer compositions will help novices of the jazz Piano learn the tricks of the trade and provide the necessary grounding for their own improvisation. This edition is published in three language versions (Cz./Ger./Eng.).

The scope of the genres and styles in Jazz Piano Studies 2 is broader compared to that of Jazz Piano Studies 1 (H5020) since it also covers the various off shoots of contemporary popular music related only marginally to jazz.The selection of twenty studies is aimed at amateur Piano players who are interested in jazz and popular music and serves in particular for the improvement of technique and style. The studies also equip pianists with the necessary grounding for their own improvisation although they can also be used by professional Piano players.
