Études enfantines, Op. 37 No. 14
About this arrangement
Henry Lemoine was a Paris music publisher and piano teacher. His Études enfantines, Op. 37, are 50 short studies dedicated to young pupils, and teachers still assign them today.
Hold the thumb's note for its full length while the upper fingers move. Play the accent with the thumb, then keep the eighth notes light and even. Practise one bar at a time until the hand stays relaxed.
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.
Before you practice.

Our edition has 32 bars in cut time (2/2).
03 How is it structured?
16 bars to the Fine, a second section of 16 bars, then a da capo back to the start.
