Dear everyone,

  I'm learning Czerny 599 book. It has 100 pieces. If I practice all of them, it'll take long long time. I want to quickly go through the essential pieces of it and then advance to Czerny 849 book.

  What are the essential pieces in Czerny 599 that I should practice ? What's the recommended order to work on them ?

Thanks a lot.
Jackie

I had practiced the Beyer book and currently practicing in the middle of Czerny 599. I've practiced 2 pieces of Czerny 849 book and don't feel any hardship for it.

This book is indeed a pain... I mean, it's not difficult at all, only a little too long. Most of it's pieces sound a lot alike and might really not teach you anything new, depending on what you've already seen before.

In my case, most of the exercises are only being studied quickly, while focusing only on the most important (for me), according to my teacher, of course.

If I had to go through the book by myself, I would probably just end up giving up on it, because most of the etudes are really boring.  :P
