Etudes for the Progressing Pianist 1

Textures:

• Alberti Bass with melody
• Stride Bass with melody

These etudes were selected through Dr.Hague’s extensive study of all available Czerny etudes. Her goal was to find musically interesting and pianistically satisfying pieces at this level. The editors have found that the study of Czerny etudes is enjoyable for students and yields enormous benefits for pianistic and musical development. Czerny is one of the great piano pedagogues and has provided us with a rich legacy that we are privileged to share with future generations of pianists.
