My piano teacher explained me that those crazy metronomic indications are the maximum speed at which the etude is an efficient exercise. When you get to a faster tempo than the indicated one, you're just wasting time getting your fingers to hurt.
@@MiScusi69 I had a really interesting talk with my piano teacher and she pointed out that the tempo tells you the character of the piece. You should practice the movement of just the arm in that time and concentrate on the harmonic structure. The fingers should just them use minimal movements to pluck the keys while the arm is moving. You shouldn't even listen to the indivudal fast notes, but the underlying harmony. She said to absolutely not practice them slowly, because you will lose sight (well- hearing I guess) of the underlying harmony. It's been an interesting experience practicing that way. I'm only a week in and by no means 'good', but I am already playing the first two at more or less at tempo with a weighless arm and I can do this for easily an hour without any issues or tiredness. It is completey different from how I used to practice.
Bruh I’m 13 and I am doing the 1st school of velocity and I am at 84 bpm to the half note, I just don’t think only a few pianists have reached his metronomic indications ya know
I've been going through a lot of addiction related issues. Not ashamed to admit. You're actually right. Those words are actually succinct. So much can be gained through suffering. Self realisation, determination, perspective, grit, perseverance... If people followed that advice, the world would have many, many wholesome people in it!
100% right. That’s exactly what the French philosopher Emil Cioran meant in his writings like On the heights of despair and the trouble with being born etc… he talks about “The Agony” and the grotesque. Much can be learned through agony!!
“ I know for many of you. He makes you practice a lot.” “He probably disturbs your fun times playing games with your friends.” Bold of you to assume I practice or have friends Mr. Lang.
When I was a child I suffered a lot in Czerny's etudes. Although I never became a professional musician, I actually appreciated Czerny's work more and more when I grew up.
Why are there so many haters of LL? He’s an amazing pianist and human being. Anyone that complains about him should rent out Carnegie Hall for 2 hours and program some of the massive pieces he plays and see how you do. Start with Liszt Don Juan fantasy. Just as I thought…crickets. No statue was ever erected for a critic.
I was brought up on zcerny exercises, boy, had some fun, never got to master them like you do, never considered it fun either! Love your way of explained ng! Australia
A lot of Czerny etude videos are up now, and they are actually really nice to hear. I've played the etude that Lang played, but not nearly as fast. :) Lang is actually a very great advocate for classical music and the piano. I'm glad he's as popular as he is.
Thank you Lang Lang honey . You explained the usefulness of Czerny very well . I love opus 299 no1 too , although mine is more like andante than presto .
@@czeynerpianistproducercomp7155 yeah, i don't really agree with 'the most beautiful' part though. IMHO Chopin etudes were better than those (Except Op. 740 No. 50, that etude sounds real good). Czerny etudes is better for practicing at home, and Chopin etudes is better for performing in recitals.
@@unnamed_boi you are totally wrong! The books I mentioned make a musical and technical ridicule out of the chopin studios that I consider super boring and overrated.
Czerny was a very good composer along with being good at writing studies. Dear teachers! If you have pupils with difficulties in moving fast with or just keeping "horizontal" hand-position and free movements. Do consider, that they may have rotator-cuff syndrome, which is not seldom at all. 4 short, strong muscles control the shoulder joint and may be so tight, that they make rotation very difficult. These pupils should be offered an operation, which is done by removing a bit of bone mass in the shoulder joint. I know so, because, i have "been there" and got the operation. Now I have totally free rotation and more relaxed shoulders while playing.
A great video that gives acknowledgment to Czerny’s exercises and a big slap in the face to those anti-Czerny people. Both Lang Lang and Yuja Wang learned Czerny. Needless to say these etudes are useful?
Thanks Lang Lang. I was wondering if it's a great idea to practise Czerny or not. I was taught with a/the Bayer method and eventually enjoyed it. As you indicated, if the pianist makes it fun, it will be fun. Inspiring! I couldn't get away with a suit like yours but I'm definitely going to try to bring a spring to my playing :)
Czerny has more difficult works than the one you mentioned, for example his first piano concerto dedicated to Mereaux, requires more virtuosity than what is seen in the score, even so his exercises Op.364, 369, 365, 388, 779 and others are extremely difficult than any Prokofiev or Liszt Study
The historic metronome usage was different than from todays reading. It changed at the end of the 19th century. Now we are confused about the metronome marks. Czerny published his teaching material for regular students, not for god-like virtuosis...
@gdudas, I am sorry for my inadequate English. Both ancient sources and our kids shows us that the theory that you mention don’t fit the music of C Czerny. A Parisian paper on music and piano playing (1833-1835) complain Czerny in his op 299 for 800 notes per minute. In Czerny’s op 740 no 13 Czerny himself mention 15 notes per second as a roughly maximum speed. Here on RUclips we find a number of children, some of them younger than 10 years playing Czerny op 299 much faster than the virtuoso Czerny himself. That is of course completely illogical.
Chopin Etudes aren't meant for showing off ! Each one of them has their own particular meaning.Czerny studies are ideal warming up exercises for the many piano works by Beethoven and Mozart.
@@canman5060 You lack a lot of culture, to say such a thing. you only know Op.849, 299 and 740. those are not even the best works of Czerny and some of the 740 are already more difficult than some Beethoven Sonatas and some etudes of Chopin, Beethoven and Mozart are preparation for Czerny Sonatas , Op. 692, 756, 399, 400, 365, 856 and 822 are great works of art far above any work by Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin
Sorry but it s not well played. The sound is poor, and the video cheats. Only the 2 study ( left hand ) is good ( with bad sound ) . You think I criticize him? Listen what he does in Haydn sonata in concert, that was really great!
Lang, one of the few pianists in the world who has reached the Czerny’s metronomic indications.

Literally everyone who calls themselves a pianist can play most in these tempi
The indicated tempi use another system than today's system. In order to convert them to our metronome system, you have to divide it by 2.
“Maybe you need to suffer a little bit”
Imagine how wonderful the world would be if people followed that advice.

contribution to Art.
Never seen Lang Lang so excited and goofy in a video, it was great!
His enthusiasm is contagious
You should check out his masterclasses. I don't care for his interpretations much, but he really is a great teacher and personality :)
I want to be as lay back as Lang Lang. I guess I should go practice.

Czerny taught Listz, what a guy!!
and Czerny learnt from Beethoven, Clementi and from Hummel. this last at the same time, was the student of Mozart
Liszt
Ferdinand Ries a contemporary of Ludwig van Beethoven.
@@coralreef909 Ludwig van Beethoven*
He taught the best pianists at that time, Liszt and Thalberg, what a teacher!!
