Many consider Opus 299 the most popular volume of piano studies ever written. It's usefulness in modern piano study is due to the fact that it offers practical training in well-articulated pianistic passage work, developing those characteristic motion-shapes with which the pianist must be most familiar, particularly in playing the virtuoso music of the romantic period. Each study is a complete musical composition, demanding attention to dynamics and phrasing as well as control of musical resources. The present edition eliminates many unnecessary finger numbers but adds a few where they are needed. Indefinite dynamics have been clarified. The music is newly engraved and openly spaced for easier reading.
