Foreword
ND inr designing these evo volumes of plano technic Mr. Schaum has
compiled fifty different studies by fifty different composers. The
slogan itty by fifry” describes the plan in concise language.
One of the important factors in technic is equalization of the
hands. In adapting and abridging these various etudes Mr. Schaum
has carefully distributed the technical problems between the right
and the left hands.
By becoming acquainted with a wide variety of etude writers the
pupil nor only acquires technic but he learns the development of the
etude form, Just as it is important for pupils to be familiar with the
great classic writers, Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Haydn, and others, they
should also come in contact with the great stream of etude writers.
Mr, Schaum has made an interesting survey regarding these
technic writers. Out of the fifty composers represented, thirty-five
are advocates of tuneful technic, five favor pure finger gymnastics,
and ten are for a combination of the two. In the two tables of
contents, an asterisk after the composer's name indicates pure
gymnastics, the name in italics denotes combination, and the
unaltered type indicates tuneful technic.
