175 Exertudes, Book 2. Intermediate. Short Pieces for Technical Development and the Exploration of Contemporary Musical Language. Composed by Donald Waxman. For piano. Etudes. SMP Level 4. Intermediate. Collection. 25 pages. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing. EC.1.3353. These pieces represent a new form developed by Donald Waxman that lies midway between an exercise and a short etude and written in the accessible contemporary language that has distinguished the pedagogical compositions of the composer. Graded in five books from early intermediate to advanced, these "exertudes," many of them only two or three lines long, exploit every aspect of finger, wrist and arm techniques and exemplify the many facets of contemporary musical language such as chromaticism, pandiatonicism, quartal harmonies, interval writing, whole tone and pentatonic modes, etc. This title has selections that range in difficulty from SMP Level 3-4. Introduction of 4-note chords and sixteenth notes. Hand movement covering 2 to 3 octaves. Scale Passages in Contrary Motion. Accented and Staccato Triads. Whole Tone Figure in Contrary Motion. Change of Fingers - Change of Meters. Rapid Left Hand Crossovers. Triads in Alternating Hands. Cluster Chords with Releasing Fingers. Extensions in Pentatonic Mode. Independence of Fingers in Broken Triad Positions. Five Finger Pattern in Two Keys. Five Finger Pattern in Contrary Motion. Broken Octaves. Five Finger Pattern and Extension with a Variation.

Coordination of White Key Pattern and a Black Key Pattern. Staccato and Tenuto 125 Triads. Independence of 2, 3, and 4. Triplet Figures in Contrary Motion.
