A vital reference for learning modern keyboard theory and techniques.
I have used this book myself and have had students use it, along with the Stylistic Etudes, for decades now. It really is a “bible” for keyboard playing. For less than the price of an average piano lesson here in L. A. , you get so much content and insight. VERY highly recommended. Barry
