This applied principally to the 'Art of Fugue' by Bach, which I was learning at the time, always complex in its contrapuntal writing.chamaco lindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631771573675180094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871944657892556507.post-60468844653668353052008-11-16T20:11:00.000-08:002008-11-16T20:11:00.000-08:00That could very well be a living composer's nightm...That could very well be a living composer's nightmare. Critics can be severe , and are even when they are seated without the score in hand. You should take a 2nd listen without having to look at the score so you can formulate your opinions based on sound and performance rather than a strict observance of the written notes and dynamics.chamaco lindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631771573675180094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871944657892556507.post-63198341866975413392008-11-15T19:04:00.000-08:002008-11-15T19:04:00.000-08:00Those method books are also great having looked in...Those method books are also great having looked into them myself. I am also a great admirer of Benjamino Cesi and as well as Franz Liszt's exercises. Surprisingly the Liszt exercises are not really written for small or big hands, its just that he wrote this way to push the performer to his/her limits. Just as the theme of his Campanella etude has large leaps in the melody, many of his exercises can seem quite impossible but they are indeed all but that. Many amateur and self-taught pianists pick up the Campanella pretty quicky despite hand span. You can teach your more advanced students the Cramer and the Liszt, I find these to be very good, as well as the new Persichetti method of symmetrical inversion for equal use of both hands, although Rudolph Ganz makes use of this as well. I teach as well so I use various methods to ensure their hands receive equal training. Nowadays music is getting so hard, one would think an extra brain is needed!chamaco lindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631771573675180094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871944657892556507.post-49867477959655435102008-11-13T21:27:00.000-08:002008-11-13T21:27:00.000-08:00Thank you, for mentioning these exercises.

I grew up with Bertini, Herz, Czerny, Cramer, Berlini. I was hand writing my first scales and arpeggios -- my teacher didn't have any scale books (post WWII Vienna, Austria), pretty funny, looking back. I also have the Liszt exercises and Brahms exercises. I like the Brahms better, better structured for my hand; The Liszt is mostly for larger, longer fingers and my hands are realtively small.<BR/>I will look into your suggestions, maybe they would be fun to practice or would work great for some of my students.Eva Martin Hollaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516286896391166472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871944657892556507.post-52395827148180451762008-11-13T19:56:00.000-08:002008-11-13T19:56:00.000-08:00I do like the fact you have observed Hanon's exerc...I do like the fact you have observed Hanon's exercises as many will overlook them nowadays. Worthy of great consideration are also Rudolph Ganz, Isidor Philip, and Vincent Persichetti's exercises. The Ganz and Persichetti exercises are really good for equal development of the hands. Hanon can also accomplish this but the latter mentioned push the limit of the left to equal the right in its agility.chamaco lindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631771573675180094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871944657892556507.post-57980209820932677232008-10-31T02:04:00.000-07:002008-10-31T02:04:00.000-07:00i luv classicali luv classicalattayayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525091486547987299noreply@blogger.com
