Upbeat Scales & Arpeggios by Avrahm Galper. Mel Bay, 2004, SS, 72 pages. The scales in this book are based on the Baermann scale studies in Book 3 of the Baermann Method. The scales and arpeggios are arranged by key. The author starts each scale on the upbeat for impetus and melodic direction. Of particular value are the suggested fingerings for many notes, especially in the altissimo. (C0240)
