A cornerstone of 19th-century piano technique — challenging yet deeply musical.
Carl Czerny (1791–1857), Beethoven's pupil and Liszt's teacher, composed the 30 Études de Mécanisme, Op.849 to provide pianists with a progressive path to technical excellence and expressive control. First published in the early 19th century, this iconic set remains one of the most trusted collections for building solid, agile, and refined piano technique.
Each of the 30 études targets a specific pianistic skill — from finger independence and velocity to rapid passagework, articulation, and dynamic control. Yet, unlike dry mechanical drills, these studies retain musical phrasing and character, encouraging pianists to play with both precision and expression.
