Neuf Études Transcendantes (Nine Transcending Etudes) by Noël Samyn. Billaudot, 1977, SS, 19 pages. This is a title that does not translate into English in any meaningful way. These are advanced studies designed to incorporate the high altissimo into the repertoire of the performer. These are not altissimo exercises, however, but studies that use the entire range of the instrument. Some fingering suggestions are given.
