A perennial favourite set of etudes among piano teachers and students worldwide, this is updated edition aligns with today’s teaching practices. Works previously notated only on treble staves are notated an octave lower on treble and bass staves providing greater comfort and resonance of sound. Rather than early works notated as half notes and whole notes, they are notated with quarter notes and half notes. The easy-to-read engravings and careful editing also make this edition a winner!
