Brahms - 51 exercises for piano

Fifty-one exercises by Johannes Brahms for piano (with thirty further exercises, most of which published for the first time)

Edited from the sources by Johannes Behr
Notes on studying the exercises by Peter Roggenkamp

Brahms published the "51 Exercises for the pianoforte" in 1893. It is a unique didactic work and the last of the composer's piano publications. It followed on the heels of the "Klavierstücke" Opp. 118 and 119. In 1894, soon after publications, the "51 exercises" received a short and penetrating review by an unknown critic in the magazine "Der Klavier-Lehrer". (...)
