Zur Festigung Der Tiefen Lagen Bis Zur Ersten Daumenlage- The emphasis of the present etudes is on systematic exercises for the left hand.

The three-line piano accompaniment book provides a rhythmic 'comping' with chord voicings written out plus the flute part to help in following the soloist or even for the pianist to take a chorus. For the jazzer here is a chance to learn Broadway tunes and to explore playing ballads and the swing style of popular standards. Chord symbols are included to allow for improvistation.
