Yoshiko Kurokawa's new proposal of piano technique. The author, Yoshiko Kurokawa, explains that you can easily and effectively learn the basic techniques that are important for piano performance, as described in Chopin's Draft of Technique, Brahms' Practice Book, and Hummel's Theory of Piano Technique. In addition to warm-up and exercise pieces by the auther Kurokawa herself, the book includes works by composers such as Hummel, Clementi, and Mozart, as well as exercise-specific exercises by Japanese composer Yasuhisa Tohma. The book is full of essential elements for piano playing and techniques, such as control of tone and volume balance in accompaniment form, awareness of palm strength essential for playing heavy notes, various ways of playing ornamented notes, tone and joint training depending on how the arms are placed when crossing, and important future techniques using the wrists and arms.
