Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more >>

Czerny First Instruction in Piano Playing

on: August 14, 2024, 06:58:49 PM

Hi,
Longtime member here but mostly a Trumpet and classical guitar player. I love piano and Bach of course. I finally want to learn piano. I was wondering if this is a good book to start off with or some beginner classical pieces you can recommend. I have played Amazing Grace and Fur Elise but that was a long time ago.

Well, Czerny is old, and maybe a teacher could guide you faster and provide more interesting stuff ?

They're all old. You can't go wrong from a student of Beethoven. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the reply.

If you get bored with Czerny's book at some point, take a look at the RCM syllabi to get some other ideas - there's a lot to explore in these pdf's and on their website.

There are other online lists... this site looks interesting: https://pianosyllabus.com/x-default.php
