Some exercises have repetitive rhythmic ideas, but feature interesting harmonic development and are designed to develop fingering, articulation, and ability to play large intervals at a fast tempo. A few of the exercises are concert etudes with more melodic content allowing the performer to focus upon lyrical playing, such as the Adagio etude which begins with a simple theme and develops into an ornate cadenza. Variety of tempi and styles. Key signatures up to 5 flats or 5 sharps. Meters 3/4,4/4, 3/8, 6/8, 12/8. 19 pages. -pc
