Description
No. 21 comes from Carl Czerny's Op. 337, "40 Daily Exercises." With 611 notes over 34 seconds, it moves at a comfortable pace that still requires sustaining volume through to the end of each phrase. As one of forty similarly built pieces, it also suits a rotating daily-study approach, working through a different number each day. Intermediate in difficulty, its length makes it easy to fold into a daily finger warm-up.
Forty intermediate-level daily studies by Czerny, suited for everyday practice of a variety of techniques.
