Czerny

Carl Czerny was born in Vienna, Austria on Febuary 20, 1791. He was a brilliant musician, trained by his father first on the piano, and even studied under Beethoven for a short while. He was known as a great teacher in music; one of his students was the famous Franz Liszt. However, Czerny wasn't only a talented pianist and teacher, he was also an amazing composer. He composed whole books of excersises such as the //Études de la vélocité// ‍and //Traité de composition. ‍//His excersises are good for strengthening the hands and sharpening the mind in music. (They can also drive you nuts if you aren't careful; but don't let that stop you from doing them - they are fun as well. [One is like a giant scale!!! :D ]) ‍ ‍Carl Czerny died in Vienna on July 15, 1857; the causes of his death are unknown. Here are some interesting websites with more information about him. Also, here are some of his excersises.
