Which ones? I like some more than others.

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

I'm a big fan of Heller's music. I would say I've enjoyed listening to his Preludes op. 81,82 & op. 150 a great deal. He also has some great tunes in his popular 45,46 & 47 etudes.

It may be due to a short attention span, but I prefer many of Heller's miniatures to many of the larger works produced by the likes of Chopin & Liszt for example. I'm not saying that these masters didn't produce great music, but IMHO Heller output within the genre of miniatures and preludes matches the greats, in simple listening pleasure.

Heller Etudes are really nice and valuable music, and they help a lot to get a natural, relaxed playing technique.

In my opinion, they are much better than Schumann's Album for the Youth.
