"Scales and Arpeggios and How to Play Them."
© 1998 by Peter Inglis.
This book is out of print, but I have left all the free sample pages on this site for your reference.
It was thought highly enough of to be used as course material
by Gareth Koch at The Newcastle Conservatorium of Music in N.S.W. Australia.
Particularly appreciated were my solutions to the left hand fingering of 3 octave arpeggios,
which combined security and speed.
