The Andersen Etude Practice Book in Japanese.  

The Andersen Etude Practice Book is a teacher as well as student's guide to mining the riches of each of these well-crafted etudes. Drawn from a variety of Andersen opuses, this annotated edition was created to help performer and teacher find, practice, and hear the melodies of the etudes. With a focus on breathing, articulation and rubato implicit in 19th century style combined with contemporary techniques, this way of practicing can help a student think outside the regular parameters the function of an etude in each and every lesson.
