This vintage book contains a selection of effective exercises that can be done on a daily basis to improve piano playing, by seminal English pianist Tobias Matthay. Coupled with simple instructions and expert tips, these daily repetitions will prove invaluable to both beginner and seasoned player alike. Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 â 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher. He was taught composition while at the Royal Academy of Music by Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren. Other notable works by this author include: âThe Act Of Touch In All Its Diversityâ (1903), âThe First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905)â and âRelaxation Studiesâ (1908). Contents include: âGeneral Directionsâ, âFirst Daily Exercises, for fullest extensionsâ, âSecond Daily Exercise, for horizontal freedomâ, âThird Daily Exercise, for repetition on double notesâ, âFourth Daily Exercise, for closest position arpeggioâ, âSome Extra Technicsâ, âOn the Fullest Contractionâ, âSustained Notes Exerciseâ, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
