Gariboldi: 20 petites études, Op. 132

Description

The Petites Etudes are of similar melodic charm as Gariboldi's Études mignonnes, Op. 131. A bit more virtuoso with regard to the fingering technique and articulation (and with the additional keys in E Major and A-flat Major), they are, in a sense, a continuation of his 'mignonnes'.

In this volume, the use of dynamics and the articulation described in great detail are essential to the interpretation of the études. Performed accurately, they freshen the sound and-sharpen the listener's perception especially through the constantly varying execution of similar motifs. If practiced accordingly, the Petites Etudes can improve technical skills considerably.
