I've never seen the scales written out on paper in three vs. two. I can do it for C Major and then put it here . . . unfortunately not tonight though, or maybe tonight, we'll have to see . . .


Here's an example :

And here is another, as a one octave span infinitely repeating pattern in each hand:

Depending on how your scales are it might be best to keep to this rather than wind up simultaneously practicing both long scales across the keyboard and 3 vs. 2.

When you are ready, transpose a bit through the keys . . .

Yes, it's the first one! It's a wonderful étude. It's how I originally learned to play 3 against 2.
Verqueue, you can download the score here: http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Nouvelles_%C3%A9tudes,_B.130_%28Chopin,_Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric%29

Here it is, played by Ashkenazy:

There are plenty of Scriabin pieces to consider as well, just look at the Op. 11 Preludes. Much of that should be fairly accessible.

Surely one of the most appealing (and easy) pieces that feature a lot of 3:2 is Debussy's Arabesque No.1......


If music be the food of love, play on!
