Piano Technique: Intermediate Level Finger Exercises, Vol. II, Chromatic

By Terrence Rust

Volume II of the intermediate book is built on the chromatic scale. It follows the same format as Volume I. The power and effectiveness of this book are in its very nature: the two-finger exercises at the beginning of the book have all of the chromatic intervals from a minor second to the octave with all of the possible fingering combinations. Following this are exercises with three, four, and five fingers. There is no better preparation for the myriad patterns of notes found in the repertoire. Furthermore, when practiced as part of a trilogy of piano technique books by Terrence Rust, which includes Piano Technique: Intermediate Level finger Exercises Vol. II, Chromatic; Virtuoso Piano Technique; and Piano Technique: Advanced Finger Exercises, the only result can be a more complete mastery of one's fingers and the ability to overcome technical difficulties. This is the most profound ________ to the training of the mind, the development of finger independence, the relaxation of the fingers, palm, wrist, and arm, and tone color and nuance. What follows is a deeper understanding of the interpretation of a work and of the various styles in which the music has been written. The intermediate book has been written for students from age 12 through adult. Practice time is ? minutes in a moderate tempo. ? pages/15.95 .
