Simple, single-line etude:
Marcel Moyse’ 24 Petites Etudes Melodiques pour la Flute, (Leduc) are excellent novice-level examples for mapping. Etude no. 17 illustrates a diatonic, arpeggiated framework for octave-length chromatic scales. A semester-long assignment included learning this etude and transposing it to the additional eleven keys. At the end-of-semester scales exam, students were asked to play the exercise in six random keys at 138 to the quarter, either from memory or with a memory map. Most didn’t ask to use a map.
