Sight-Reading made Easy 8

Will deal with more difficult pulse divisions, greater detail in requirements of touch contrasts, octaves moving against arpeggios, scale figures against chords, more complexity in part-writing and antiphonal movement, melody in both hands above or below accompaniment shared by the hands on half or quarter beat, more artistic use of pedal required. Guided tests show how to read progressions of block harmony, to balance melodies in poper proportion, to recognise ornamental notes, cadences-inverted and decorated, and “spot” essentials. 12, 16, 32 bars.
