Op. 364, Op. 348, the Sonata No. 10, Op. 692, Op. 754, and Op. 756 are Czerny studies which are almost never played yet considerably more musical than Op. 299, Op. 740, Op. 636, etc.

I was always confused about the various versions of Czerny, very helpful video! Thanks!

You have put Czerny in perspective. This has been invaluable to me as you explained how Czernys books progress. It has given me an understanding how Czerny has designed his books so l have an understanding of Czernys method so l can work at my level and at my own pace. Thank you for your invaluable help explaining the order of these books. Very much appreciated.

Love this video! I really like op 777 for early intermediate level, and it only has 24 exercises so it's not overwhelming. Because you didn't already have enough Czerny opus numbers. :)

This really helps clear up the decision on which Czerny book to use. I have the 599 and will get the 849 next. Thank-you.

I take Czerny “session” from time to time but generally think it’s best to have a varied styles of music from different periods to keep musicality and technique in shape.

Really a great video, i'm a motivated 31yo adult beginner since 1 year, so around grade 3 , starting my way to grade 4, and i was frustrated to always being 10-15 bpm below the true tempo of pieces, my fingers were just not enough trained or fast, and i know i need some true practice, like a sportsman. I was lost between Hanon, Czerny,etc. but thanks to you i have a great view of the path i must take, i'll build a good basis for fingers strength with Hanon then i'll swap to Czerny to velocity, dexterity because it looks far more enjoyable.

IMO, a pianist could play the complete op. 740 during the course of, say, 10 years. The same thing holds true for Bach's WTC. A pianist would profit a lot from playing the 48 in 20 years' time. Never hurrying helps a lot.

Useful summary. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this video…it is very informative

Great video, thanks for the advice!

The original German title of the school of velocity is ‘Die Schule der Geläufigkeit’, where ‘Geläufigkeit’ stands for fluency and dexterity, but definitely not for speed. According to the title, you should achieve ease and elegance here, not necessarily velocity, you don't have to hurt your fingers to achieve incredible speed, no one cares!

I really like op. 821 precisely because they are short and to the point. I don't want to waste time learning 3 pages of the same pattern when I want to focus on a specific problem.

too words...Remain SANE ....common sense.....as you said if you can't play evenly at a fast tempo...slow it down to a speed at which you can ..and work toward a faster tempo...makes sense!! ..Thank you for putting it in order!!

Op 365 is a ultimate challenge !

Very good and informative video! Thank you!

Will check these out today. Thank you for tips on which ones to practice as a hobby pianist

Some suggestion of the level of proficiency in Czerny's studies 1 Op 823 and Op 599 2 Op 849 3 Op 299 4 Op 636 5 Op 740 6 This is almost impossoble ! Op 365.

Thank you for this video! It really helped me! I am beginning 299 and I wasn’t sure how it fit with the others.

Thanks for you video, very helpful. Op.299, 740, 365 are my prefered. A good path towards Chopin études.

Thank you so much for your video! I got answers to my qustions❤

Merci 😊J’ai aussi Les heures du matin (opus 821) 😍💫

I think that czerny is a great part of the piano repetoire. I've done all of them, and in fact they have some things that i've become better , when i went to another type of piano pieces, A must have to increase some techniques...among chopin etudes of course.

Very helpful! Thank you :) I find op 139 or the 100 progressive exercises super useful. Then the school of velocity op 299 after that. ❤

Amazing content. Thanks!!!

Very helpful, thanks 😀

I just found out about Czerney Opus 481, 50 exercises for beginners.

Todo el largo curso de piano ,le dio. clases de tecnica a Lizst Chopin y contemporanesos ,yo estudie el Cerny 30. 40. Y 50. Para la tecnica.

very informative :))

Do you use Czerny's op. 718 studies, which concentrates on the left hand? How do you rate their utility?

Any word on Op. 453 ? I believe it is similar to Op. 599. Thank you for the review and tips! :)

Thank you!!!

I have all these books plus a few more. IMSLP is a great place to find all these plus some. Also cheack out op. 500 The School of Pianoforte Playing. Its in 4 volumes. Its kind a "method" book of the time era. Neat for teachers for historical study.

Thank you for this great and informative overview. I used to play 8 bar etudes a couple of years ago, and now I want to turn back to the keys after a break of several years. As my skills deteriorated, I am looking for something easier and new, so I probably grab 849. I don't actually play them to improve my virtuosity but rather to warm up, train basics and find and fix skills where I am not good enough at as I should be on my level (I really struggle with fast octaves for example, which is why Chopin op. 25 10. is one of the few Chopin etudes that I did never play in the past) What kind of grading system is that? Is there an overview with example pieces for "advanced" grades? I think advanced can be anything between Chopin's Waltzes and Ballades and Scherzi, where the latter I consider much harder but still not yet professional (with the 4th as an exception) I once saw a scale on a German page which 1-8 and then 8+ and 8++ but it was somehow ridiculous because a well-above average hobby player can be far beyond 8++ easily (don't remember the name and where I found it though)

Op 337 is recommended for busy daily schedule.

Merci for this.

Great. I goot many of these ops. Wanna practice...

How do people figure out the right fingering and avoid practicing wrong in these books?

So many books!!!

Those are the beginner I use with my STUDENTS as I say

What about Czerny's the school of the virtuoso, or school of the left hand?

Good morning sir. Where is the position of czerny 553 octave studies?

I’m looking for an exercise that works 5-4-3-2 upward scale motion in the LH.

Tyyyyy

Czerny I use with my students at the Music Institute. It's pronounced with K I ALWAYS HAVE. FIR EXAMPLE (KERNEY)

I don't hate your video but I rather do hate the fact that you never play any of the exercises that you talk about and you keep referring to School grades which is very confusing as most people don't learn piano in first grade or in school at all. It just really makes it sound like you are talking about something you don't have direct experience in. That may not be the case. The whole thing sounds like you're recalling an article written about czerny from memory

Op.740 is not the hardest!! Op.365 is more difficult

Be careful with Czerny’s methods (or anyone else’s from that period) because they were written with a different instrument in mind. The pianoforte action has a completely different feel and it doesn’t quite line up with modern piano technique. Studying these can still be very valuable, but take their recommendations with a grain of salt.

Nadie te en tiende.

Let me ask the obvious question…. Why is Mariah Carey all over your practice room, when we’re talking about Czerny / classical music repertoire prep?
