Re: Etudes in the "other" keys

The Jeanjean Progressives that kilo suggested have two etudes in each key. Most are formulaic, effective, and musically not too interesting (for me), but there are several I like to return to for enjoyment.

Some other etude books like Uhl have some etudes scored in the keys you mention, but they also have etudes or parts of etudes that are effectively in those keys, having all the accidentals written in rather than specifying them with a key signature. Jettel's Accomplished books are also frequently like that (but beware of their error-ridden edition.)

Practicing scale patterns brings facility to all keys, so then the remaining technical difficulty with less usual keys is reading, especially sight-reading. Practicing musical etudes gets one accustomed to musical appearances of double-sharps etc.
