"A Proposed Program to Improve Piano Performance through Daily Technical Exercises by Oscar Beringer

Technique in piano performance is considered one of the essential foundations upon which proficient musical execution is built, as it helps in developing motor and muscular skills that enable the performer to control the keys of the instrument and highlight the artistic and expressive aspects of the musical work. Technique here is not limited to speed or finger strength alone, but also includes flexibility, balance between the hands, rhythmic accuracy, control of dynamics, and the ability to bring out both the melodic and harmonic lines simultaneously. It also encompasses fundamental expressive pillars such as scales, arpeggios, legato and staccato playing, intervals of various types, as well as triadic and quartal harmonic chords, among other diverse technical skills.

The study is structured within two main frameworks:

First: The Theoretical Framework

• Previous studies related to the research

• Technical exercises

• Biography of Oscar Beringer

• Second: The Applied Framework

It presents a proposed program of piano technical exercises from Oscar Beringer’s book Daily Technical Studies for Pianoforte, consisting of 12 exercises.

• Third: Research Results and Interpretation

Finally, the research concludes with a list of references and an abstract in both Arabic and English.
