Many self-taught piano enthusiasts avoid etudes, especially those who have firmly "rusted".
This genre has developed a reputation for being boring technical music that requires meticulous sitting, and it's hard to perform such works in public. But that's not the case at all.
Etudes have an interesting advantage—they are based on repetition, making them easier to memorize than pieces from other genres.
Teachers place great importance on playing etudes, as they help students develop technical skills that allow for quick analysis of musical text.
This collection includes small, compact etudes for piano of varying levels of difficulty, from beginner to advanced.
All of them are accessible to adult enthusiasts for self-study, fit comfortably in the hands, and sound rich and virtuosic.
Each etude is accompanied by a technical commentary to help learn it correctly and avoid common mistakes.
The commentary includes the artistic image; the main type of technique; the main technical difficulties; common mistakes; tips and advice for practicing or performing; details not to overlook during analysis; and finally, notes on the score; musical terms; methods for playing complex measures.
