A three finger excercise I learnt as a child was to play individual notes, start with middle finger on c, then ring finger on d, finally little finger on e. Then up a tone, middle on d, ring finger e, little finger f, and so on. Then the reverse starting at c1, little finger on that, then ring finger on b natural, middle finger on a, and so on descending. Very strenuous at first keeping those notes clear and distinct, but improves ring and little finger strength and dexterity.

My piano tutor also has me playing the Hanon excercises dotted. First note dotted, and then second note dotted. I think slower is much more taxing than fast.

Basia - Third Time Lucky. 3 25 in... Not so much a piano solo, but great chord sequence, Donald Fagen- The New Frontier.
