Grade 8 - Practise Studies to Build up Piano Technique

The study of etudes is essential for the development of piano technique in addition to the study of scales, arpeggios and exercises. The greatest pianists, harpsichordists and composers of piano music of all times were allocating time to practise exercises and studies daily. Such a routine not only makes it possible to progress faster and more efficiently for learners but also contributes to maintaining skills at a more advanced level.

📖 "It goes without saying, that technical proficiency should be one of the first acquisitions of the student who would become a fine pianist. It is impossible to conceive of fine playing that is not marked by clean, fluent, distinct, elastic technic. The technical ability of the performer should be of such a nature that it can be applied immediately to all the artistic demands of the composition to be interpreted. Of course, there may be individual passages which require some special technical study, but, generally speaking, technic is worthless unless the hands and the mind of the player are so trained that they can encompass the principal difficulties found in modern compositions."
Sergei Rachmaninov in James Francis Cooke's Great Pianists on Piano Playing
