Piano Music - Ferdinand Beyer

Ferdinand Beyer


1803 - 1863
Ferdinand Beyer was a German composer and pianist. Today Beyer is mainly remembered for his hugely influential and still very relevant Vorschule im Klavierspiel (Preparatory School) Op. 101, reprinted many times since its original publication in 1850, which offers systematically compiled 5-finger exercises for a wide variety of many possible combinations and subsequently also exercises as well as little studies introducing scales. The method became especially popular in Japan after being introduced into the Japanese educational music system by the American educator L. W. Mason in 1880 and later also in Korea.
