12 Melodious Pieces, Book 1, Op. 63 (An Alfred Masterwork) [Paperback] Review

In this book, the student gets practice in diatonic scales, hand-crossing, octave jumps, and dotted rhythms.
This book offers practice in left-hand and right-hand arpeggios,thirds, slurs, staccato, repeated notes, chromatic and diatonic scales, and triplets.

The harmony is more interesting than in opus 64, but not much.In #8, there are a couple of minor substitution chords in the melody.In #9, there is a secondary dominant followed by a relative minor chord.

I still say that Concone, Gurlitt, and Burgmuller are better choices.

Product Description:
By spelling his name backwards, the 19th-century pianist and composer Jean Louis Gobbearts created the pseudonym under which he published many of his pieces. These simple and charming pieces with descriptive titles develop various aspects of piano technique including legato and staccato articulation, grace notes, hand crossing, broken chords and melodic voicing. An excellent choice for early-intermediate students.
