As a piano virtuoso and student of renowned teachers such as Beethoven, Clementi, and Hummel, Carl Czerny knew how to optimally train his playing. He shares his knowledge in 80 piano schools that compile countless études. In this edition, 160 études are collected, each eight measures long, for short, intensive practice. The focus is on both individual hands as well as both hands together, and Czerny has taken into account all nuances, from technical-rhythmic challenges to melodic-lyrical pieces. With most pieces in fast tempo and lively character, these exercises are more suitable for advanced students.
