Clement Perrin’s 33 Difficult Studies is a perfect compliment to his sister publication “15 Transcendental Etudes & 6 Preludes of High Virtuosity.” Both are very difficult etudes, but this book could be described as more of a challenge of endurance than range.  Lip flexibility, finger dexterity, and endurance are put to the test in these etudes. For any serious amateur, college student with masterclass performances coming up, or professional looking for new practice room fodder, this is the book for you.

I have included the first 3 etudes on the left for you to play for free. I guarantee you will be hooked. When you are, you can grab an immediate PDF download above.
