I have two different edited versions of Baermann III. I hav'nt seen these
names on here yet... one edition.. which I assume to be very common is the
one by Gustave Langenus... and the other.. , which I find to be more
organized, is edited by David Hite. I like the second one better for
specific scale study and fluidity in a specific key.
