This book is a compilation of etudes by a variety of composers that are Allen Vizzutti's favorites (the book's cover is set in such a way as to obscure this fact). Includes 17 challenging etudes covering not only technique, but also aspects such as rhythmic understanding, phrasing and tone color. Allen Vizzutti provides a sample interpretation of each piece on the enclosed CD.
