Duvernoy: 25 Elementary Studies, Opus 176

These short etudes explore a variety of keyboard patterns and articulations. The studies, limited to key signatures of three sharps or flats or less, develop legato phrasing, dynamic graduations and voicing. Approximately the same level of difficulty as K�hler's 12 Easy Studies and Czerny's Practical Method for Beginners, Op. 599 and The Young Pianist, Op. 823.
