Hi, I have heard the complaint that its too fast for some pupils. But
then, I designed it so that the exercises should be repeated many times.
The book otherwise would be long and more costly.
Do you know my newest edition of that book, published by Waterloo Music
in Canada? Or is this the one you are talking about? AG
Thanks for the plug.
