for perusal at Amazon. Here is a collection of 796 scales and arpeggios selected from standard repertoire in a volume of over 300 pages. Don't be a slave to mindless repetition of generic scales.
From the dedication page:
As I put this collection together, I think of my
colleague from long-ago graduate school. She drilled
scales for hours at a time, cascades of pearls in all keys that glistened
brilliantly in the crisp air. She played stunning Beethoven, a fourth concerto
singing and clear, but it was the obsessive scales that captured her best
heart. When last I heard tell of her she
had entered a spiritual order of some sort and never played again.
