Preparatory Exercises, Op. 16
Aloys Schmitt is best remembered for his Op. 16 exercises. The collection is divided into three sections. The first aids students in developing finger independence through a variety of single and double-note patterns within the range of a fifth. The second section emphasizes passing the thumb under fingers to prepare for scales and arpeggios. The final section provides traditional scales and arpeggios in a notated format with fingering.
Technical Studies
Comprised of 60 challenging and musically satisfying exercises, this book accentuates dynamics, rhythm and sensitivity to tempo. With a steady progression of difficulty, these rigorous studies also strengthen the hand, build greater flexibility and enhance finger dexterity. The exercises are transposed and written out in every key. Notations for fingering, dynamics and tempo have been included by the editor.
