Re: Kroepsch 416 Revisited

There was a video of Leon Russianoff speaking of this very idea of whiting out most if not all markings............his words, not mine. But everyone varies there teaching emphasis over the years and from student to student. I just happen to like THAT particular Russianoff RIGHT NOW.

As for the Kroepsch exercises themselves I would say it does them a disservice to say they are dressed up arpeggios and scales. They are in fact a good overview of most of the standard classical technique. Like anything else though, you can over do it. They are a fairly finite range of ideas, so don't think they cover ALL the bases. They do, however give you some better sight reading skills by virtue of getting you out of the typical 'scales' and 'arpeggios.'
