Features: In this book, the author combines scales and arpeggios into a single compilation, titled "The Scale System," a practice that could be considered quite innovative. The author attempts to bring the often rigid and conventional practice exercises into a systematic framework, thereby preventing students from favoring one particular exercise over another based on personal preference, and instead encouraging them to distribute their practice time equally among the most commonly used technical combinations. Another consideration is to re-emphasize the classical fluency of the French school for the current generation of students, specifically the continuity of double-stopping. This "Scale System" is comprehensive yet concise, making it both time-saving and effective for certain technical training. Of course, a prerequisite is necessary: students must practice different scales daily, systematically converting a particular basic pattern to all keys for practice.
