Chord Exercises
on: May 05, 2008, 03:45:31 PM
Hannon/Czerny are great, but I have a student that is really struggling with chords (particularly four note fingerings).  Suprisingly, I'm having a difficult time finding an exercise book that deals specifically with chords and chord movement.  Note: FJH/Brown Scale Book etc don't quite cover what I'm looking for.  I'd like a book that covers four note major/minor chords, along with 7ths-and their inversions. 

Please help!!

Perhaps the most systematic is Cortot's Rational Principles of a Pianoforte Technique.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

Hymns?  A standard church hymnal maybe.
