Features: The intermediate stage of piano teaching is relatively long, during which Czerny's Piano Exercises, Op. 299 and Piano Exercises, Op. 740 can be considered two milestones. Transitioning from Czerny's Piano School of Velocity, Op. 849 to Op. 299, and then from Op. 299 to Op. 740, it is essential to interleave various practice pieces as a foundation. Especially for Op. 740, which contains numerous technical challenges in terms of difficulty and speed, mastering them is not that easy. This stage requires further strengthening the independence and flexibility of the fingers, enabling them to move quickly, evenly, and powerfully. Different types of touch should be learned to enhance the sensitivity of the fingertips and produce varying tonal colors. Further training is needed to improve the coordination among the fingers, wrist, and arm, gradually mastering various specialized techniques. As technical proficiency improves and the range of repertoire expands, it is important to learn and master the styles of works from different periods, focusing on cultivating musical expression. These techniques should be appropriately applied in performance to convey the music.
