“These studies are not addressed solely to harpists, but to all who are interested in every musical manifestation. Composers and conductors alike will find in them information which will confirm their intuitions or solve their doubts, both with respect to the notation and the innumerable resources of the harp of today.
Regarding harpists, the aim of these studies is to offer them something of a decisively musical nature, by means of which they will accustom themselves to the different details of a mechanical order, to the art of phrasing, and to the multiple sonorities of their instrument.
These studies can be employed by novices as well as by virtuosi…
Individually, these studies are not restricted to the technical peculiarities suggested by their titles. Each one contains chords of various kinds and harmonic tones (double and single), so that one can develop several types of technique from the same study…
If a pupil wishes to attain a worth-while result, he must practice logically, step by step, and preservingly. It is of the utmost importance that he should get rid of the fear (fundamentally false) which all new ideas of a technical order cause. They seem difficult merely because they are new.
There is nothing difficult. There are only NEW things, unaccustomed things…” C. Salzedo
