When students are assigned high-quality etudes, their technique improves dramatically. Book 2 of this series features advanced elementary-level piano etudes by such well-known composers as Czerny, Gurlitt, Köhler, Löschnorn, Rebikov, and Schytte. The collection focuses on level-appropriate essentials, such as shaping two- and three-voice phrases, playing a left-hand melody with right-hand chords, extended hand positions, melodic octaves, Alberti bass, descending scales, and more. Each etude is preceded by concise facts about the composer and helpful practical tips.
