🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： 51 Übungen für Klavier No.36 in C-Dur WoO.6

No. 36 from Brahms’s 51 Exercises uses limited range and material to carefully develop finger independence and evenness of touch. In its succession of short units, it is important not merely to play the notes in sequence, but to listen to the clarity of each note and the continuity of the musical flow. Begin at a comfortable tempo, coordinate the movements of both hands, and keep the wrists and arms relaxed. As the exercise becomes familiar, pay attention to the placement of the beats and the direction of the phrases. Adding natural, non-mechanical shaping will bring out its musical appeal as well as its practical value as a study.
