In addition to the other features the Abe mentions:

most of the exercises go to altissimo F or G, another improvement over

alternate fingerings are included at the spot in right in the passage.

(who just had the pleasure on Friday of passing on the alternates for D3
to a student refining Mozart 3rd mvt.)
