This is as small as I could make the Frugatti Exercises

These are the Chopin etudes a bit simplified (but still very difficult).
I'm not good in scanning, that's why the 50 pages together are 151 MB!
I have uploaded the folder to Mediafire.
Maybe someone can put them in a decent file.

Here's my version of the Frugatta. I was able to tweak the JPGs a bit and generate a B&W PDF file.

Thanks Jim. What a huge improvement over what I was able to do. You clearly have tools I do not have. I'm thinking Photoshop. Glad to have these nice studies preserved in such a pristine manner.

Thanks for your kind words. I've never used Photoshop or the genuine Adobe tools: everything is accomplished on a 13 year old computer using a 12 year old graphics program and various free PDF manipulation tools from the internet.

I am amazed! Do you give lessons? :D Not only did you reduce to TRUE black and white (Adobe Acrobat Pro can only go to gray scale), but you aligned an straightened the pages

It is indeed a miracle. Instead of playing out of my very yellowed Frugatta-book I now will use the white scans that Jim was able to produce! Thanks.
