Master the art of fast, fluid, and controlled piano playing.
Hermann Berens (1826–1880), a respected 19th-century pianist and pedagogue, composed the Newest School of Velocity, Op.61 as a systematic training program for speed and technical fluency at the keyboard. This essential collection offers pianists a clear, progressively structured pathway to developing effortless velocity while maintaining clarity, control, and expression.

The exercises progress from moderate to highly advanced, addressing finger independence, evenness, articulation, and hand coordination — skills required for Romantic virtuosity and complex repertoire across all styles.
