“What’s your favorite one?” “Molto Allegro”

It brings back childhood nightmares. And that was at only half the speed.

I utterly love the very clear Beethoven reference...Czerny truly loved his master!

Welcome, my pupil, to your first day at the School of Velocity. Lesson one: *has finger seizure* Okay, dear student. Now you try.

Carl Czerny op. 299, 40 studies 1) 0:00 2) 0:33 3) 1:08 4) 1:41 5) 2:07 6) 3:17 7) 4:00 8) 5:06 9) 6:13 10) 7:48 11) 8:58 12) 10:31 13) 11:16 14) 12:25 15) 13:20 16) 14:58 17) 16:56 18) 17:42 19) 19:11 20) 20:00 21) 21:15 22) 22:08 23) 23:44 24) 24:58 25) 26:03 26) 27:10 27) 28:18 28) 29:04 29) 30:19 30) 31:04 31) 32:20 32) 34:58 33) 36:29 34) 37:58 35) 40:13 36) 41:57 37) 43:27 38) 46:10 39) 48:33 40) 50:24

Other composers: Adagio, Andante, Allegretto... Czerny: Allegro, Presto, Prestissimo, Molto Allegro

Am I the only one thinking the melodies are perfect choices of the background music on an ice cream truck? 😂🙄️

That brings back memories...played nr. 24 for my music school graduation - in tempo. Now, 40 years later, tempo has dropped a bit. All the notes are still there though.

Fun fact: I lent this book from a public library somewhere back in the 90's. Somehow, I never returned it and got letters from them for 15 years or so afterwards. I haven't back there since I'm afraid what they will say. But I still have it, and plan to return it someday =)

I cant even play the wrong notes that fast!

this sounds like those old Fortepianos. I like it! BTW for all those complaining about the speed, just want to tell you that this is supposed to be fast. maybe you don't achieve this speed but the purpose of this book is to play as fast, relaxed and clear as you can.

if Finale keeps playing this fast and accurately, it's gonna be a concert pianist any day now

Only two people can play this well. Czerny himself and LISZT YES. LISZT.

21:15 probably my favourite I played so far

Teacher: here’s the bill for the class Mom: why is it so expensive? Teacher: it includes the medical bills Mom._.

No. 34 killed my fingers, my social life and my will to live

33:35 is so satisfying

OH MY!!! Well that escalated quickly.

The description is a *helpful* list of tempo markings.

People tend not to believe one can play with such rapidity.. Upon hearing Claudio Colombo's interpretations of The School of Velocity, it sounds programmed for sure. What needs to be noticed is that the bmp sits at around 104-108. This means the pianists fingers will be performing at twice that speed, at 208-216bpm. They are designed to enhance the ability of the virtuosic performer! Just like Hanon's exercises for the virtuoso.

put the play back speed to maximum and see what happens…

This is amazing. Wow!

I love how No. 39 sounds in this soundfont. Particularly the fortissimo section.

This is supposed to be fast. The school of velocity are exercices.

It's absolutely possible to play this fast if you drink ten cups of Kenya AA coffee!!!

Wow, man. So fast and clear.

32:57 compare this to Flight of the Bumblebee, I bet Czerny will definitely win

Would it not be most logical to at least mention the pianist playing here ? Why did he/she get no credits ?

17 : 16:55 19 : 19:09 21 : 21:15

This velocity school was originally written for two pianos only until 30, the second part is in imslp and there is another school of speed which is Op.834 and is called new School of velocity

Czerny is my favorite pianist.

The musicality automatically shows when you play the piece close to the original speed.

note: the n.1 (presto) is played slower then 108. its impossible to play as 108. this is meant to the begginer musician. czerny was a whole-beat metronome guy.

I finished no.39. I loved that one

Number 21 seems to be an hybrid of mazeppa from Liszt because the appoggiatura and op 740 no 50 from Czerny because of the beginning medoly. 21:15- here It is

No. 16 is very fast, but angelic at the same time.

É demais de emocionante.!🇧🇷🇧🇷🕊️

As delusional as I may sound, I don't care. According to the absolute limitations of the human coordination of the brain and hands being pushed to the possible max, I was questioning for the first 4 minutes whether or not this is actually acoustically played by someone on an authentic period instrument, or if this was simply done with MIDI...Well, let me tell you something...after hearing number 7...I am wholeheartedly convinced(unless someone respectfully proves me wrong), this is actually no computer. That was a true human touch that I realized was doing this...what an utterly unbelievable achievement here. I was feeling true and sincere human convicted emotion here which made my hairs stand on end...Give the bloody pianist credit!! And I will keep on listening to be genuinely inspired. Moreover, that No.7 is actually a truly sublime, heartwrenchingly beautiful little masterpiece...what a piercing and yearning, yet simple melody that master Czerny wrote. Wow, I am going to do this.

Звук, как у мех. пианино, ощущение, что увеличили искусственно темп, как шарманка " без души "..

I keep reminding myself that is a technique exercise and not a performance or recital piece.

Me imagino al genio que toco esto, pero que velocidad impresionante

Wonderful.

Many thanks.

If you are a student there are easier exercices by Czerny (op 139 and 599).

It hurts my fingers just to listen to this

This is quite discouraging if not depressing.

So glad I found Chopin and got out of this mess...

Playback speed to 2x. Try it.

Wow..........this is for Argerich, Horowitz, Richter,,,,,,,,,and for the player!!!!!!!!!!! Wath a velocity!!!!! Beatiful............

Bravo! great job by recording this, really!. What I don't understand is why the recording sounds if it was made with an early 2000's cellphone. You shoud record this professionally, I'd buy it right away!

The sound is of course terrible, but besides that, imagine a video were you could see the hands of a brilliant pianist performing it along with the score. How much more useful this would be, especially at a slower tempo. And maybe even with a few tips on how to practice each exercise, what it is for, and other important technique related advice.

1:43 5:01 7:48 11:17 14:58 23:44 27:09 32:18 36:29 43:28 46:10 48:33

It is played on a real piano? If so, can you make a video at least one of them at that speed to see the hands?

мое далекое детство за роялем может быть если буду слушать и играть моя душа помолодеет вопрос thanks for postingand bravo for pianist

I could spend 8 hours a day for the rest of my life practising the easiest of these pieces, and even if I lived to 103 I would never come close to being able to play it at half speed. *sob*

and I thought Mozart was all scales at times

Thanks for uploading!

First exercise, I only need to work on right hand dexterity. Second exercise, insert left hand dexterity.

This is répertoire of final exam of primary school in Korea! :)

Study No. 7 reminds me of “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas” for some reason

Thank you.

It's too fast for a student!

Goodbye fingers..I was a pleasure having you..😁

God! Too fast! Is it midi or it's really someone playing?

no. 3 sounds beautiful

Czerny would be proud! This is suppose to be the end result.

I have a sneaking suspicion, there might have been a pianist involved in all this. Of course, he/she is only a very minor player, but maybe he/she should have been given a mention....

Great!

Best pieces for practising.

@1:01 Why did the pianist play the last 2 bars incorrectly? He treated them as if the quarter note was at half ... ???

beautiful

😀🔫

may i ask you if there is a manipulation of speed of the original recording?

this is what chewing 5 gum feels like

He plays even faster than the indicated tempo !

This isn't even as fast as the tempo markings!

nice. sounds like pianoforte

30:18 Now i feel like i don't play the song fast enough

Yes, I also had to practice. Bravo

Just a small detail - who is on piano ? Surely, it was not a computer ?

i recognize this is an autoplay. but how can a computer produce so beautiful and delight tone and dynamics? it will be interesting to hear beethoven with this

Who the fu*k playing these!?!?!? The most musical performance of these etudes!!

Es muy rapido para mi / its soo quick for me

It's like the person playing these tried to play each one as fast as possible! Sure, you've got some skill - but in my opinion this is WAY to fast! It would sound so much better if you took the speed down a notch.

Oh.. Czerny Thank you

Good 😃

triggered

Listen to this on 2x playback speed. It doesn’t even sound like a piano at this point.

Wow,what the name of pianist?

Chapeau!

This is insanely good. Who is the performer?

There is a rhythmic counting mistake at the end of the second etude… the beats suddenly get half tempo

Хорошее исполнение Этюдов К.Черни op.299.Но темп" заоблачный"!Кто исполняет?

Was this played on a harpsichord or something? It sounds so blurry!

It's Litsz's great great grandson.. louie listz.
