Die Kunst der Fingerfertigkeit op. 740 (699)

It is impossible to understate Czerny's importance as a teacher (Ludwig van Beethoven employed him to teach his own nephew) and his many educational works for pianists at all stages are as important today as when they were first produced. 'The Art of Finger Dexterity' contains 50 medium-length exercises designed to increase facility and a clean technique. It remains an essential component of any advancing pianist's development. This classic Edition Peters publication is used by teachers and students across the world.
