Czerny, wtf?

Klaus

I was researching some exercises that involve scales for my kids and stumbled upon an old friend, "School of velocity".

What the fuck was Czery thinking when he put those tempo annotations there?

There's a little excerpt of this piece played by fucking Lang Lang (!) and even he plays slower than that.

I think that is the first time I heard Lang Lang talk. I could have a beer or a scotch with him.

Horace

He seems pleasant, but he is not good looking enough for me to have a beer or scotch with.

Klaus

I see that I'm not the first to observe that the tempo markings are insane.

mark

That does seem a bit fast. lol
