Elementary Studies, Op. 176 No. 22
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.
Count the eighth rest at the start of each group so the figures come in on time. Shape each three-note group under its slur and lift at the end. Keep the left-hand chords short and soft at p.
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.
