Carl Czerny, Op. 823, No. 24
Carl Czerny
This brief work is a lovely choice for advancing pianists. The accompaniment is extremely varied. Czerny uses repeated notes, broken and solid chords, and step-wise motion in the left hand. The melody is also compelling: it has a variety of rhythms and melodic ideas. Students should have careful voicing in order to keep the dynamic level quite, capturing the dolce marking at the beginning of the piece.
