Etudes of Louise Farrenc

Louise Farrenc(1804-1875) was a distinguished and powerful professor and piano teacher at the prestigious Paris Conservatoire, standing out because she was a woman in a world controlled by men. Her etudes were heralded by critics of her day and are still worthy of study. The etudes are charming, intermediate level works which show the influence of Cramer, Hummel, Beethoven and Bach and are representative of styles of the day. Each musical gem works on one particular problem. The integrity and character of each work has been retained as carefully as possible in this edition, and editorial suggestions are clearly indicated as such.
