Carl Czerny

Sinopse

In the world of piano pedagogy, few names resonate as profoundly as that of Carl Czerny, a luminary who bridged the classical and romantic eras with his profound musical insights and pedagogical prowess. "The Art of Finger Dexterity, Op. 740," is a monumental work that encapsulates Czerny's dedication to the development of technical proficiency and musical expressiveness.
This collection of 50 studies is not merely an exploration of technical skill but a journey into the artistry of the piano. Czerny, a student of Beethoven and a teacher to Liszt, brings a unique blend of rigor and expressiveness, demanding precision and encouraging musicality. Each study is carefully crafted to focus on a particular aspect of piano technique, from the simplest to the most complex, making it an indispensable tool for pianists of all levels.
Op. 740 stands out for its balance of technicality and musicality. While it challenges the fingers, it also engages the mind and soul, offering a comprehensive approach to developing dexterity, strength, speed, and, above all, a nuanced touch. It is a testament to Czerny's belief that technical excellence serves as the foundation for expressive playing.
This edition aims to bring Czerny's timeless studies to the contemporary pianist. Whether a student embarking on the journey of piano mastery or a seasoned artist revisiting foundational techniques, "The Art of Finger Dexterity" offers both challenges and rewards. It is a reminder of the enduring power of disciplined practice and the endless possibilities of musical expression.
As you delve into these studies, may you find not only the development of your technical skills but also the enrichment of your musical journey, guided by the wisdom of Carl Czerny.

By Myself and Then Some

Anônimo

The epitome of grace, independence, and wit, Lauren Bacall continues to astound generations with her audacious spirit and on-screen excellence. Together with Humphrey Bogart, she produced some of the most electric scenes in movie history, and their romance on and off screen made them Hollywood's most celebrated couple. 
But when Bogart died of cancer in 1957, Bacall and their children had to take everything he had taught them and grow up fast. In a time of postwar communism, Hollywood blacklisting, and revolutionary politics, she mixed with the legends: Hemingway, the Oliviers, Katharine Hepburn, Bobby Kennedy, and Gregory Peck. She was engaged to Frank Sinatra and had a turbulent second marriage to Jason Robards. But Bacall never lost sight of the strength that made her a superstar and she never lost sight of Bogie. 
Now, on the silver anniversary of its original publication, Bacall brings her inspiring memoir up to date, chronicling the events of the past twenty-five years, including her recent films and Broadway runs, and fond memories of her many close lifelong friendships. As one of the greatest actresses of all time turns eighty, By Myself and Then Some reveals the legend in her own beautiful frank words -- encapsulating a story that even Hollywood would struggle to reproduce.
