Some good sight reading books?

on: October 02, 2016, 01:10:06 PM

I currently have czerny and cramer etudes, and czerny's art of dexterity which I think are good sight reading pieces because of rhythm repetitions. Bach preludes would be okay but the fugues are very difficult to sight read. to give an estimation I can sight read Bach C major prelude and Chopin op 25 no 5 at like a quarter of the tempo.

Mozart sonatas, Chopin mazurkas and nocturnes, and some of the simpler Scarlatti sonatas.
Though I think Bach's WTC is definitely the best way to go.
