A foundational step toward confident, expressive piano playing.
Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy (1802–1880), a respected French pianist and pedagogue, composed the 25 Elementary Studies, Op.176 as an ideal technical and musical training ground for beginners and early-intermediate students. Comparable in difficulty to Köhler's 12 Easy Studies and Czerny's Practical Method for Beginners, Op.599 and The Young Pianist, Op.823, these études remain a trusted choice for teachers worldwide.
Each of the 25 studies focuses on essential pianistic skills — legato phrasing, even tone production, dynamic control, and basic voicing — while keeping key signatures accessible (no more than three sharps or flats). The music is melodic and enjoyable, helping students develop technique without sacrificing musical expression.
