if ya wanna be one of millionz who have brilliant technique , chose all da above except da lazzt
if ya wanna be an artizt , choze da chopetz … ofcourse da TE and da PE contain a lot of musicality alzo… and my prof. says that lot of the works you are working on have places you can practice thru and gaining the work approved more … she always says that she is not a fan of excercises …
I’m doing Dohnanyi. I’ve looked into Hanon and Herz, and did all 160 short exercices from Czerny. For a good technical basis Dohnanyi’s best of all I’ve tried. It’s great to strengthen ur fingers and get a good basis for all techniques. Czerny is just good for speed, sucks for anything else.
And I hate it when people say you can just get everything from Chopin etudes…
liszt exercices are just too much imo… you could put the same effort and time into learning a real piece with the same tech, with the same effect. tech exercices should just prepare you and build up a basis, no need to learn stuff twice.
