Hanon The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty (60) Exercises, Czerny Practical Method for Beginners On The Pianoforte Op. 599, Schmitt Op. 16 Preparatory ... TECHNIQUE BOOKS (Musical Lessons Sheet Music)

Ironpower Publishing has combined 3 classic piano technique books into one great value book. These original books have been a staple of piano teachers and their students for around a century. Because these books are often used together we thought it made great sense to pack them into one complete money saving volume. Instead of having to purchase the books separately you now have the convenience and economy of them all being in the same book. The books contained are by Hanon, Czerny, and Schmitt... Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Exercises, Complete Czerny: Practical Method For Beginners On The Pianoforte Op.599 Schmitt: Op. 16: Preparatory Exercises For the Piano, with Appendix by A. Knecht Hanon's book (Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Exercises, Complete) is regarded as the most widely used piano technique book ever written with millions of copies having been sold. For over 100 years teachers and students have been using the progressive exercises contained within to build finger independence, agility and strength as well as flexibility in the wrists. A player's technique is guided through successive exercises that are sequenced to allow the fingers rest from the fatigue caused by the previous exercise. Hanon's original introduction is included as a preface and he recommends students to have had at least a year of experience before using this book. Czerny's book (Czerny: Practical Method For Beginners On The Pianoforte Op.599) contains Carl Czerny's popular set of piano exercises that although designed to improve technique the pieces are not mechanical etudes but can be played as real music. Aloys Schmitt's book (Schmitt: Op. 16: Preparatory Exercises For the Piano, with Appendix by A. Knecht) is a collection of exercises divided into three sections. The first section is for acquiring the greatest possible independence and evenness of the fingers through a variety of single and double note patterns within the range of a fifth. The second section contains exercises for passing the thumb under the fingers, preparatory to the practice of the scales and arpeggios. The third section is an appendix written by A. Knecht and contains notated traditional scales and arpeggios with fingering. The compilation of the 3 complete books is comprised of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts. We hope you get a lot of benefit from performing the many various exercises in this book and with consistent practice takes your piano playing technique skills to a new level.
