What s as monophonically challenging as Kopprasch but more melodically inclined? Kling is surely one of the correct answers! These forty etudes are excellent musical tours of register, dymnamics, articulation patterns, and style. Do they qualify as unaccompanied solo repertoire as well? Why not--especially when in the hands of a soloist such as Stephen Hager. He has brought out this unique disc with accompanying performance suggestions and teaching tips in the liner notes. To have learned all forty certainly puts the performer through the paces: a continual use of three-octave range, slurs, marcato, legato, abrupt changes, etc. Above all the theme and variation demonstrations here are solid, enviable, and musically convincing to the very end. While being a fine teaching tool this album also serves as an example to emulate for anyone preparing for solo public appearance and auditions of all sorts.
