The
School of Velocity is firmly established
as the standard scholarly collection of technical
exercises used by piano pedagogues for nearly
two centuries. This volume is made up of four
books of technical exercises, each book consisting
of ten studies. Editor Gary Busch's careful
and thorough research is reflected in this edition
through his insightful commentary about Carl
Czerny's life, his style and technique, and
a unique guide to the individual exercises.
