Unlock the full potential of your left hand — strength, agility, and expressive control.
Hermann Berens (1826–1880), a distinguished Romantic pianist and pedagogue, composed Training of the Left Hand, Op.89 to help pianists develop a balanced and independent technique. Too often relegated to accompaniment roles, the left hand can become just as expressive and agile as the right — and this collection provides the structured training to achieve that goal.
