About the piece
One hundred studies arranged in ascending difficulty, covering the ground between the earliest exercises and the intermediate repertoire.
The progressive study collection was Czerny's characteristic form, and its logic is straightforward: isolate one difficulty at a time, present it in a short piece, and order the pieces so that each depends only on what has already been mastered.
The composer
Carl Czerny
1791–1857
Carl Czerny was an Austrian composer, music educator, and pianist of Czech origin. His music spanned the late Classical and early Romantic eras. His vast musical production amounted to over a thousand works and his books of studies for the piano are still widely used in piano teaching. He was one of Ludwig van Beethoven's best-known pupils and would later become one of the main teachers of Franz Liszt.
