SCALES
ARPEGGIOS and CADENCES
for Piano
Windsor Editions
This Scalebook was written for students and afficionados of the piano.
It is meant as only a "guide" for the creative application of such by the
pianist and his/her professor. The Harmonic Minor Scales are presented,
as they are the ones principally found in the general pianistic repertoire.
However, a list of Pure Minor, Melodic Minor, and Chromatic Scales
are found in the Addendum.
