scale studies

[sonata76]

hi i was wondering if anyone can help.im not a teacher but i am looking for piano studies with mainly scale runs for both hands.i feel if you can learn scales in a slightly more musical way it will make them more interesting to play.if there is a scale study out there then you could transpose it into other keys.i hope somebody can help.thanx

Greetings.

If you are looking for pieces which feature scales running up and down both hands, then I am afraid, you are looking at a piece called "scales in all keys".

Joking aside, a piece in which there is nothing but scales isn't really a piece, but scales themselves. However, alot of Czerny works are based on scales and alternating hands. Some etudes feature scale runs in both hands with changing tonalities. I am working on several Moszkowski etudes right now and I can say that all of them have some form of scale runs(some scales are pure scales). My best is Czerny, if all you need is just pure scale runs.

Best.

You dont say what level you are at?  I use some very good ones by Kuhner for early level students also a couple of good ones by Ludwig Schytte.. You often find these in graded studies type books. Have a browse in your local store im sure they will have some by these guys. Czerny is avaibable everywhere..although many people dislike Czerny I have to say I think he has written some excellent studies particularly in regard to scale passagio.

The new note above in the reply screen sure looks menacing, but I think I will still have a go.

Czerny has studies both difficult and easier, so you might want to look at those.

Best.
