(Schott). Moszkowski's 12 etudes for the left hand, op. 92, are of high difficulty. The technical tasks are varied, and this album in particular focuses on chord breaks, "thumb melody" and fluency. All studies are characterized by a good piano movement and manageable length, which encourages concentrated practice. A great addition to the well-known "Essential Exercises" series, completewith practical information for lessons and study.
