Schmitt: Preparatory Exercises, Opus 16

Schmitt: Preparatory Exercises, Opus 16 (Book)

By Aloys Schmitt / ed. Willard A. Palmer

Aloys Schmitt is best remembered for his Op. 16 exercises. The collection is divided into three sections. The first aids students in developing finger independence through a variety of single and double-note patterns within the range of a fifth. The second section emphasizes passing the thumb under fingers to prepare for scales and arpeggios. The final section provides traditional scales and arpeggios in a notated format with fingering.
