cznery's op 500.
Who in God's name is Cznery?
So anyway since I did manage to find it I thought I'd post a copy here for anyone interested in having a look, but without the time to invest in locating it.
I play Czerny every day. What he says about improvisation should be taken seriously. Remember, this is the man who studied with THE greatest piano improviser, Beethoven, and the man who taught the OTHER greatest piano improviser, LISZT. If Beethoven, Czerny, and Liszt don't offer you 'real' enough improvisation, maybe you had better listen to jazz instead! Ajspiano, make sure you follow Czerny correctly-he intended his studies to be played at sight, WITHOUT looking down at the hands. One of my goals for this year, among others, is to work on each and every single study by Czerny. Granted, not all of them are of equal value, but plenty of them are wonderful little works in their own right that would make for exciting concert pieces given sufficient preparation.
jmenz, that one starts at 17:54 in the libetta recording, go on, tell me there isnt atleast a little bit of feeling in it..
How on earth am I expected to listen through those nearly 18 minutes to get to it, though?
