Elementary Studies, Op. 176 No. 21
About this arrangement
Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy taught piano at the Paris Conservatoire. His Op. 176, École primaire, is a set of 25 elementary studies, each built on one skill.
Keep the right hand legato and even, with the fingers close to the keys. Play each left-hand chord with all notes together and hold it for its full value. E-flat major has three flats: B, E and A.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.
