Art of Finger Dexterity, Op. 740 (Complete): Piano

For lovers of music scores, this is a very bad print of the original, with page numbers and the numbers of the pieces on top of each other, lines that are unclear and blurry, paper is glaring white among reading the music strenuous to the eyes, and the book will not stay open even if you try. Any printer at home will be able to do a better job! It is very sad that this quality is being sold by Schirmer.

It is very good for finger practice. The book is very good quality with clear prints and notes.It is for intermidiated to advanced level and not for beginner.

These exercises are pretty much performance pieces in their own right. They are fiendishly difficult if you're like me and can't reach 10ths. Great to make the tiny handed amongst us suicidal!I play at licentiate, professional level but just had to admit that my genes were conspiring against me! About 1/3 were playable for me without 'rolling the 10ths' which defeats the object.

great product great price

These are great books. Very useful.

This books makes your fingers work really hard. It is for the advanced player ie If you have got Grade 5 practical it would be good for strengthening your fingers so that you can cope with the more challenging pieces of the higher grades.
