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!!

There are some good Dohnanyi and Brahms exercises...

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.
