by Carlos Salzedo
Since 1929 this book has been a standard method book for pedal harp students of all methods of playing.. Contains fundamental pedal harp exercises with illustrations and technical explanations. Includes 15 preludes for beginners, each written in a different key to familiarize the player with the manner of key formation on the harp. Pedals are used extensively to avoid harmonic monotony and give beginners the opportunity to become acquainted at once with pedal usage.
