The first 2 volumes of the Opperman Modern Daily Studies give your technique a nice workout, but Book 3 (Intervallic Permutations) will have you talking to yourself.
Book 3 consists of many arpeggiated patterns which, for the most part, you have never encountered before and your fingers (and ear) do not want to accept.
They are truly a test of one's concentration and finger discipline. Done in very small doses (a few pages each day is probably all you can take) they keep both your fingers and mind limber.
Just in case you master the patterns, Opperman gives 12 different articulation ideas to further frustrate you ...GBK
