Harpists, composers, conductors, and arrangers will find this book by Carlos Salzedo useful as they learn about the mechanics of phrasing, possible sonorities, and notations for the pedal harp. The first 25 pages are a written explanation of traditional and modern techniques and notation, such as different types of glissandi, gushing chords, pedal slides, and whistling sounds. The remaining 26 pages are Five Poetical Studies for Harp Alone including Flight, Mirage, Inquietude, Idyllic Poem, and Communion. Each of these studies focuses on one aspect of playing (scales, arpeggios, trills and grace notes, two-note chords in natural and harmonic positions, and "giant chords") and incorporates the techniques described in the beginning of the book. 53 pages.
