Four Daily Exercises (First Set of Occasional Technics) - For Advanced Students and Artists

This vintage book contains a selection of effective exercises that can be done on a daily basis to improve piano playing, by seminal English pianist Tobias Matthay. Coupled with simple instructions and expert tips, these daily repetitions will prove invaluable to both beginner and seasoned player alike. Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 – 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher. He was taught composition while at the Royal Academy of Music by Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren. Other notable works by this author include: “The Act Of Touch In All Its Diversity” (1903), “The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905)” and “Relaxation Studies” (1908). Contents include: “General Directions”, “First Daily Exercises, for fullest extensions”, “Second Daily Exercise, for horizontal freedom”, “Third Daily Exercise, for repetition on double notes”, “Fourth Daily Exercise, for closest position arpeggio”, “Some Extra Technics”, “On the Fullest Contraction”, “Sustained Notes Exercise”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
