A proven pathway to finger strength and effortless fluency at the keyboard.
Carl Czerny (1791–1857), student of Beethoven and one of the most influential piano teachers of all time, created the Preliminary School of Finger Dexterity (Die Vorschule der Fingerfertigkeit), Op.636 to help pianists develop speed, precision, and independence in a musically engaging way.
These 24 progressive studies focus on core technical skills — velocity, finger agility, clarity, and control — while maintaining melodic interest so that practice feels musical rather than mechanical. Designed for intermediate to early-advanced students, this collection bridges the gap between elementary exercises and the demanding repertoire of Romantic piano music.
