Hi Martin, You mentioned the Luise Walker training exercises (Da tagliche Training) published by Hladky. I got a copy from Scribd. Lots of material inside. In your opinion, which exercises in this book would be most beneficial ( and time efficient )for me?
Thanks,
Barney

Barney oh, definitely the chord exercise, that'll solve so many issues! I wouldn't bother too much with the scales as they are quite limited in their usability. I have worked on cross trills with some of the scales in thirds and played the barree exercise to strengthen my left hand for a while!

Martin Got it! Thanks
-
Martin Just to confirm the barree exercise: do you mean Page 29: (4) and (5a) and (5b)?
-
Barney this looks like a good one, but I meant p.24, ex. 7!
-
Martin Thanks for clarifying this. I think I'll use the one you like, since it works for you. Practice time is limited, so your advice helps a lot!!! I always appreciate it!!
