Anyone can recommend me good etude apart from czerny n hanon?Thanks.

I've done exercises by Beringer, Pischna and Schmitt; I wouldn't know how to get hold of them though - my piano teacher has them from years ago. At least some of them were published by the AB though as far as I remember.

Thx a lot,YetAnotherPianist.

How advanced are you?

I've passed G8 in 2003.

Then you have some treats in store.

We pianists are lucky; there were some great pianists in the past who were also great composers. Fantiastic studies and amazing pieces to play are:

Chopin: Etudes op 12 and 25 - 24 studies, 12 in each set. These are wonderful pieces of music as well as superb technical studies. Soloists will often perform a set complete in a recital. Several of them are quite short and make a good entry. Try the op 25 nos 1 & 2 to start off with. Although often short, these studies are physically exhausting to play. You will develop dexterity and stamina playing them.

Liszt: Trancendental Studies and Concert Studies. You might find the length of the Trancendental Studies offputting but they are not as exhausting as the Chopin. Still murderously difficult, though! Probably the most immediately approachable of Liszt's studies is the concert study 'Un Sospiro'. You could also do worse than study Liszt's transcriptions of works from Wagner's opera.

Rachmaninov: Etude Tableau. I only know a couple of these, but they will certainly halp develop technique and are quite short.

Have fun

Sorry, I also meant to add this.

The Beringer exercises mentioned earlier. They are not 'studies' as such and they are very dull to play, but they are very effective in building suppleness in your muscles and coordination between your fingershands. I use them occasionally myself.
