Cornelius Gurlitt

Easiest Studies in Velocity Op. 83

Cornelius Gurlitt is one of the co-founders of 19th-century piano teaching. Building on the method of Carl Czerny, his rich educational material is extremely topical even today and can be easily used in piano lessons. The first foundations for a piano technique are laid in the 'easiest dexterity studies': each study deals with another technical aspect (little scale passages, interval leaps, simple triadic figures, double stops and triplet exercises). The exercises surprise the player with their sonorous harmonies and invite musical interpretation. Perfect for use in music lessons and as first study literature for beginners and intermediate players.
