It is impossible to understate Czerny's importance as a teacher (Ludwig van Beethoven employed him to teach his own nephew) and his many educational works for pianists at all stages are as important today as when they were first produced. The School of Velocity aims to give advancing pianists the dexterity and control required to perform the increasingly virtuosic and decorative music being composed in his own time, the first half of the 19th century. It remains an essential component of any ambitious pianist's development. This classic Edition Peters publication is used by teachers and students across the world. It is beautifully bound and printed on cream paper with weight, opacity and grain direction optimal for music publications.
