Better known for his numerous works on piano playing techniques, Carl Czerny was a prolific composer in almost every contemporary musical form, with an amazing number of more than a thousand works under his name. Les Etrennes is a set of 24 waltzes written under the basic forms of this popular dance. With its careful and simple design, Czerny made these charming miniatures accessible for any intermediate to advanced player, but also for the adventurous beginner.
