....nothing Kal wrote was for beginners
I've several of his study books which, as my teacher, he autographed for me. He and Hadcock were my teachers at Hartt.
My suggestion is to get 2 books you did not mention:
Modern Daily studies Bk 1 and Bk 2. ( pub 1952 )
These books take one thru studieeees of LH, RH, Staccato, Grace notes, Octaves and Chord .
The Master Studies you refer to is also good. There are only a couple of studies in this book where portions of the notes are in the stratosphere.
Technically, it's not a too difficult book. However, when you apply the exactness of legato, staccato, tonal concepts, etc......that's where the value lies. Bear in mind, this type of application pertains to most any, if not all study books.
