I love the Ferling studies and learned them in high school and college. I often revisit the fast ones to keep up finger speed and coordination, and I play thew slow studies when my embouchure endurance is in need of a boost.
When I have students who are advanced enough, I have them begin to work through the slow studies to learn about new rhythm combinations, altissimo passages, phrasing requirements, and ad libitum examples. The Ferling studies are in a Romantic style and provide excellent training for playing exposed lines in symphonic works by Brahms, Rossini, Schubert, Tchaikowsky, Strauss, Delius, Elgar, and Rachmaninoff.
I would recommend the Ferling studies as an alternative to the Fifteen Grand Studies and the rest of the Barret book, but I suspect that EaubeauHorn's musicality skillset is already imbued with what Ferling can provide.
