Summary/Abstract: Throughout the history, there has been many studies on the playing techniques, many methods has been introduced and applied for comfortable and fast playing, many pieces has been composed for strengthening the pianists themselves and finally today’s technical variety and the difference in choice of sources has been recognised. Although the fundamental requirement for a pianist to be successful is practicing itself, it is equally important to spend that particular practice time in the best possible way. Using the whole body in the correct way during the practice enables the pianist to proceed faster and accurate; arms needs to be comfortable all the way from the back, elbows should support the hands constantly, eyes and ears must coordinate and finally the pianist and the piano itself should appear as a whole in harmony. In this context it is possible to consider the studies as the practice zone of the pianist. The pianist experiences many issues that could turn into a problem in the future while playing and hence when pianist comes across similar passages, they don’t become a big issue. For that reason, the choice of the appropriate study piece, especially at the beginning, is crucial for the pianist’s progress. In this study, Carl Czerny’s early studies (op. 599) has been examined with regard to it’s various features.
