Overview

Book Size: 8 1/2 x 11 * * * * * * From the EDITOR'S PREFACE. Ever since the appearance of the Henselt tudes their worth and originality have been recognized, and they have, almost without exception, become part of every good teacher's curriculum. After the most excellent, but dry, tudes of Clementi, something else is required as a bridge to the tudes of Chopin; a bridge both in technique and poetic content. The tudes of Moscheles and Kessler, more difficult and more interesting than Clementi's, are yet devoid of that poetic quality which gives a composition merit as a melodic creation rather than value in the technical sense. The Henselt tudes fill this gap. They are much more difficult than those of Clementi, Moscheles or Kessler, and they are on a higher plane of intellectuality, while appealing more strongly to the emotional nature. The student who masters the Henselt tudes will be in every way better able to cope with those by Chopin. The present edition is free from certain mistakes that have been reproduced in all other editions. It is also the first edition provided with pedal marks. I have preserved the grouping as given by their author, although it is, in my opinion, not always wise to allow the pupil to study them in their present order. Individual aptitude and needs will dictate the course to be pursued; as a general rule, I would recommend selecting these tudes as follows: No. 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 7, 6, 9, 8, 10, 11, 12.
