Re: Approaching Klose Book

I haven't the book in front of me but the scale section (beginning of part 2?) is a good daily grind. The Klose scales are running sixteenths for the most part but 'sit' on the tonic with an eighth note - pretty good for getting pitch centers set in your head. There is also a section of Kroepsch exercises in there somewhere (I think the Klose book has the later pitch center exercises). These are one or two line exercises that cover most standard Germanic/Romantic technique in all key centers (you can get C maj through A maj sold separately in Volume one of Kroepsch Studies) and you have two pages of them in major, two pages in minor. I use that material all the time.

There are also lots of little good duets and mini solos throughout.
