Encouraging pianists to achieve greater musical expression through the practical application of technique
by Tom Gerou & Ingrid Jacobson Clarfield
Intermediate to Late Intermediate Piano
Building on the foundation of Book 1, Piano Etudes for Developing Musicality, Book 2 offers a carefully sequenced collection of expressive studies (études) that emphasize the relationship between technique and musicality.
Units 1–9 feature works drawn from the rich 19th-century piano pedagogy tradition, each chosen for its ability to support technical development while promoting musical artistry. The selections are progressive in design, with variety in keys, meter, and difficulty to ensure balanced study.
Unit 10 features newly composed Recital Etudes by Tom Gerou that synthesize techniques introduced in earlier units, challenging students to apply their skills with confidence and creativity.
This volume is an ideal bridge from intermediate study to more advanced expressive playing, encouraging pianists to develop both control and artistic interpretation.
