PREFACE There is nothing more useful for getting independence in both hands and fingers than music written in two or more real voice parts; and in it we also make a begin- ning in polyphonic playing. Unless having a reasonably good training in the latter, a piano player is unable to master the difficulties of most of the music that is best worth while. In this collection there have been selected examples in two-voice writing from many different composers; some of the pieces have been shortened, and in a few cases frag- ments only have been taken, this being indicated bya ^ at the beginning.

TECHNIC AND MELODY A Fundamental Course for the Pianoforte by CORNELIUS GURLITT Three Books Op. 228 Each 75 Cents Practical simple and essentially musical. The grading of the material is so arranged that there is no break in its easy continuity. All necessary assistance in the principles of music are given in the text. No single essential feature of the fundamentals of pianoforte playing is Wanting in its pages. The compositions for two and for four hands are thoroughly prepared for in the Technical Studies. An abundance of text makes the application of the material simple and full of interest. Lists of supplementary pieces, carefully graded, are given in each book. This Course is being used with unfailing success by thousands of teachers and students. The last and ripest work of the author. Sent free: “How to use Technic and Melody” An interesting and instructive booklet for all piano teachers, containing the author’s direct intentions for using the three volumes of “TECHNIC AND MELODY” and general useful hints on pianoforte instruction. It is supplemented with lists of graded teaching pieces, especially selected for use with this or any other method. : : PIANOFORTE STUDIES Key Circle Exercises for the Pianoforte by Frank Lynes Three Books :::::: Each 75 Cents To the teacher who desires material which is so constructed that it serves more than a single purpose, “KEY CIRCLE EXERCISES,” for the piano, will be found especially valuable. While contributing to the teach- ing repertoire a distinctly useful group of technical studies, this work is also of value in affording indispensable practice in MEMORY TRAINING, SIGHT READING, TRANSPOSITION, PRINCIPLES OF MODULATION, PROGRESSION AND RESOLUTION OF HARMONIC COMBINATIONS. The books contain a comprehensive course of study in scale playing, chords, arpeggios and broken chords, double notes, and various touches, trill, hand expansion, part-playing (including the scales in canon form, etc.). Send for descriptive Circular BY GEORGE EGGELING : : Eighteen Melodious Octave Studies Of Medium Difficulty Op. 90 :: Price S 1.00 These studies, of medium grade difficulty, serve admirably as prepa- ration for the more advanced octave studies of KULLAK and others. While especially designed for octave practice, the musical character of these studies gives them additional value, particularly to the pupil who needs not only technical training, but opportunity for study in the art of interpretation. Hence, expression, pedal, broad phrasing, and the application of the octave equally to right and left hands, gives this collection of studies particular value. The eighteen studies are. not cast in one mold, but offer a fine variety of “pieces”. They appeal to the musical sense, and consequently develop it, while the technical training is going forward. Fifty Melodious Etudes in all the Major & Minor Keys Two Books :: Op. 122 :: Each 75 Cents Several qualities recommend these Etudes. First, they grade naturally from a very simple two-part study in C major to a point where a variety of rhythmic groups and simple arpeggios contribute to produce very ori- ginal and musical pieces which are no longer than two printed pages. Each of these Etudes has a distinct purpose. To mention a few in order will show the character of the collection as a whole. They are: MELODY STUDIES, SIMPLE CHORD STUDIES, BROKEN SCALE GROUPS, BROKEN CHORDS ALTERNATING BETWEEN THE HANDS, INNER VOICE MELODY, SPECIFIC RHYTHM, EAST WRIST STUDIES, THE SCALE AS A WHOLE, DOUBLE NOTES AND SYNCOPATIONS, and Type forms like the WALTZ, MAZURKA, and MARCH. Every one of these is taken up as a fundamental MUSICAL problem and the treatment is from the MUSICAL side. While chords are freely employed, the octave is very sparingly used. These Etudes will be welcomed by teachers who are looking for mu- sical pieces in which an essential problem is so presented that the student will gain the good of the problem while enjoying the attractive melodic and harmonic qualities of the composition in which it is incorporated. Book I contains Etudes in not more than three sharps or three flats. Book II contains Etudes in all the remaining major and minor keys. Twenty- Five Etudes (without octaves) for Technical and Musical Development Two Books :: Op. 170 :: Each 75 Cents. (Schmidt’s Educational Series No. 16a-b) The studies of this Opus are intended for introducing the pupil to and affording practice in third grade work. They are somewhat more am- bitious in design and difficulty than those of Op. 122. While octaves do not appear, there is a free use of short chords and of varied rhythms that constitute many original short pieces. Each study aims at a specific purpose, some of the problems presented being the following: Studies in RHYTHM AND PHRASING, TRILL STUDIES (No. 14 is a fine example), MELODY STUDIES, FOUR NOTES AGAINST THREE, THE TURN, INNER VOICE MELODY, CHORD STUDIES (with application to both hands equally) STUDY OF DOUBLE THIRDS (equally for both hands), WRIST STUDIES, THE APPOGIATURA, STUDY OF PEDAL EFFECT, and VELOCITY PASSAGES. Before beginning this Opus, the student should possess some freedom and independence in the simpler problems of the items specified above (which simpler presentation is afforded by Op. 122 ). Op. 176. PLEASURE AND PROGRESS 35 Descriptive Etudes for the Earlier Grades (Schmidt’s Educational Series No. 60a-b) Book I :: Book II :: Each 75 Cents In the attractive little Etudes comprising this Opus the composer has successfully applied many technical features in the form of short descrip- tive pieces, each bearing a suitable title and skilfully contrasted. Note- worthy features of this collection are the strongly marked rhythms em- ployed and the careful attention throughout to the equal development of both hands. Fingering, phrasing and all details necessary for enhancing the value of this work to teachers have been most carefully added. At- tention has also been given to variety of keys and time signatures. The following description of the various numbers will show the scope and character of these studies. They are progressively arranged and cover the intermediate first and second grades. At the Brook (Finger Equality in both hands). The Spinning Wheel (Legato playing-triplets), Dress Parade March (Scale passages for L. H- rhythm), Echoes from Capri, Tarantelle (Velocity), At the Spring (Ac- cent, etc.), Birds in the trees (Trills), Playing Tag (Legato and Staccato), The Shepherd’s Song (Broken Chords), Rippling Waves (Melody), The Chase (Contrast of forte and piano), Folk Song (Melody and detached chords), Berceuse (Sustained Melody), Forest Sounds (Crossing the hands), Elfin Dance (Staccato). SEVEN ETUDES for the Development of the Hands in Extended Positions Op. 172 :: Price 75 Cents This set of Etudes has a specific purpose; “The Development of the Hands in Extended Positions”. These Studies are applicable only in advanced work — and well repay the study necessary to perform them artistically. The following description of each Etude will show the extent of the application of the “Extended Position” principle. No. l. MELODY. Long, sustained chords, in both hands as accom- paniment. No. 2. INNER VOICE MELODY, with extended chords in the left hand and triplet accompaniment above the melody for the right hand. This Etude is six pages in length and makes an excellent recital number. No. 3. BROKEN CHORDS (arpeggiated) in the left hand with brbadly sustained melody in chords in the right band. Secondary, or subsidiary melody in the accompaniment. No. 4. MELODY STUDY (Melody in Soprano, and later in an inner voice). Accompanying figures as extended broken chords. No. 5. IN MARCH RHYTHM. Strong and well-sustained theme. Oc- taves are freely employed and some measures of echo-like grace notes are used as embellishment. No. 6. INNER VOICE MELODY with extended broken chords in the right hand. A most excellent melody study for the left hand. No. 7. MELODY DIVIDED BETWEEN THE HANDS The ex- tended positions are confined chiefly to the left hand. An excellent re- cital number. Besides the specific purpose to which each of these studies is devoted, all are most excellently adapted to the general study of the pedal. Phrasing is clearly indicated and sufficient pedal marks and finger- ings are given to insure an artistic performance.
