    No.11 MUST’ve been the original inspiration for Chopin’s Op.25-11, I swear. Ditto for No.12, for Op.25-12. No. I3, in turn, was developed from Bach’s Bb major prelude from the Book 1 of the WTC. These things I never realized when I was studying this entire book literally forty years ago.

They complained that ‘all studies require 800 notes per minute’, which is only true in single-beat». Here on YT I find a number of children, some of them younger than 10 years, playing from Czerny op. 299 faster than Wim Winters’ double beat tempo. Therefore we understand that
      something is wrong with the theory.

      This translates as The School of Fluency. 40 Exercises to develop the speed of the finger.

      martingauthier 7377. I have already commented on your post elsewhere, so here we go for a new round. There is nothing scientific about the formulation: «…ridiculously anti-musical». Therefore, such a argument has no value. What sounds ridiculous to some, sounds perfectly fine to others. What gives us important information on a scientific level are the old written sources and the composer’s own information. The very fast MM numbers in op 299 are the composer’s own, and therefore obviously cannot be overlooked. A number of videos here on UA-cam confirm that they are playable. I haven’t found all 40. The explanation maybe that the pianists find the musical content uninteresting.
      Here are some videos that show pianists at Czerny’s pace:

      ​@@geiryvindeskeland7208 I understand why pianists find the musical content uninteresting...
      Still if the tempi are to be played as indicated by true mathematical meaning of the sign ' = ', it's very irresponsible from the music editors never to say a word about how extremely difficult and most likely out of reach those tempi are, even for skilled pro pianists, considering that those etudes are supposed to be made for intermediate level students. Indeed why would top level pianists waste their time with this average quality academic material?
      For the students, you'll find much more realistic and musical tempi - still very fast - for instance in the Bürgmuller's or Berens' studies, where 'allegro molto' will be typically a quarter note = 144 - 168 (and not 208 - 216 like in Czerny's).

  • @martingauthier7377
    @martingauthier7377 10 місяців тому +2

    The tempi indications make no sense. Many or most of these studies literally can't be played that fast by any pianist, even by the greatest accomplished virtuosos.
    If you apply the double beat theory (twice slower), it makes sense, but then the metronome number doesn't match the italian word indication and we can't really call it velocity.
    But make no mistake: if you can play these studies half the tempo with a clean articulation and technical precision, you are already a good pianist and certainly not a beginner!

    • @geiryvindeskeland7208

      martingauthier7377. I want to phrase myself in a polite manner, but I am a little bit tired of the many people who believe that one’s personal meaning and taste give the historically correct tempi. We should rely more on the old written sources + - 200 years old.
      martin ,quote: «The tempi indications make no sense». You are not correct, Czerny’s own MM make sense, and that’s because of the mans urge to compete.
      The signature «jorislejeune»: Le Pianiste was a Parisian paper on piano playing and music (1833 till 1835) and wrote negatively about Czerny, certainly about the op. 299. They complained that ‘all these studies require 800 notes per minute’, which is only true in single-beat.
      In the book «Beethoven» by Maynard Solomon, we read: Beethoven was concerned to maintain his preeminent position and regarded any accomplished pianist as a potential rival. In mid-1794, he wrote to Eleonore von Breuning of his «desire to embarrass» and «revenge myself on» the Viennese pianists, some of whom are my sworn enemies.
      The book also says that Beethoven was invited several times to private homes to compete against other pianists.
      Here we understand why Czerny’s quick MM numbers and Beethoven’s utterances make sense - the pianists were competitors! They competed to see who could impress the most with their virtuoso playing and demanding compositions. It was about imprssing colleagues, music journalists and the public.
      Czerny opus 299 in double beat tempo is so slow that it wouldn’t impress anyone. And the mention in Le Pianiste confirms that they played Czerny in single beat tempi.
      You are absolutely right - at double beat pace, tempo doesn’t match the Italian words for speed. «Double beat make sense», you say. Unfortunately, no they don’t, and I justify it like this: I got my first piano lesson in 1962. I have played a lot, but almost never practiced, I don’t have the patience. But when I heard Wim Winters’ op 299, no 1, I immediately realized that it can’t possibly be historically correct. After 50 minutes of practice, I reached double beat pace. Ancient sources tell of Czerny’s interest in the virtuoso. It is inconceivable tht, after 50 minutes of rehearsal, I reached the level of one of the greatest virtuosos 200 year ago, it is totally illogical, and an unforgivable disregard for the virtuoso level the pianists reached at that time.
      Simple logic also shows that double beat is hardly historically correct pace. It is from children and drunk people that we hear the truth. Now we are not going to drink, but hear the kids play. Here on UA-cam we find a number of videos of children, 7-12 years old, playing Chopin’s etudes much faster than the double beat pace. Chopin, the composer, was 20-22 years old when he composed the etudes. He had about 10 more years to reach a virtuoso technical level, and Wim Winters would have us to believe that Chopin played the etudes much slower than the kids! Completely illogical!
      martin, quote: «Many or most of these studies literally can’t be played that fast by any pianist, even by fhe greatest accomplished virtuosos».
      martin, I can write a list if you want.
      Finally, beware of Wim Winters. Sometimes he manipulates and censors. Whoever is right in their argument, does not need to manipulate and censor!
