The course begins with the theme of 'Phrasing and Articulation'. This is followed by a series of pieces arranged systematically to give practice of playing in different keys (3-sharps to 3-flats) and so to improve reading skills and increase familiarity with the keyboard. Together with Major and Minor scales, the corresponding cadences are introduced which can be varied in many different playing styles. Parallel to this there is granded practice material for playing scales and to develop 'Velocity and Even Playing'. in this way students gradually reach a technical standart that allows 'artistic' work on expression and musical interpretation to begin. This development of musicianship starts with the use of pedal and an introduction to cantabile, which will be taken further in Volume 3.\nAgain, playing by ear, inventing accompaniements, experimenting with timbres and chords, and composing little pieces should constantly supplement lessons. in the appendix of Volume 2, the author offers some idea, though he has consciously left much to the individual approach of the teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhrasing and Articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Major Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Minor Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravelling through Various Keys (3#-3b)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelocity and Even Playing I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantabile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelocity and Even Playing II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccompanying Songs and Dances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Dances with Drone Accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cadence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong Accompaniment with 2 Chords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong Accompaniment with 3 Chords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDances with Cadential Harmony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Book with Online Access","offer_id":43783178027087,"sku":"ED7932D","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish \/ Portuguese \/ Italian","offer_id":43784777465935,"sku":"ED7932-01","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/b0826fec8e6e7af4432a33b257393423.jpg?v=1762474416","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/the-european-piano-method-volume-2-schott","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
