This article reassesses the "mechanical" style of playing featured in Carl Czerny's pedagogical works and keyboard arrangements-specifically, the Complete Theoretical and Practical Piano Forte School, op. 500 (1839), its supplementary text Letters to a Young Lady (ca. 1840), and the four-hand transcription of Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D Minor, op. 125 (the "Choral"). The first part of the article situates opus 500 within the larger pedagogical milieu of Biedermeier music culture and Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's progressivist educational reforms, exploring the way it tasked predominantly women amateurs with assembling basic finger sensations in an exercise-by-exercise-"progressive"-fashion. I propose that this cumulative logic reflects an early-century epistemic norm-what Friedrich Kittler dubs a "mechanical program" of assembly and augmentation. The second part considers Czerny's transcription of the finale of Beethoven's Ninth from the perspective of ludo-musicology and cultural techniques media analysis, outlining the reductive and replicative-"reproductive"-techniques by which Czerny accommodated his former teacher's work to the hands he shaped in the private sphere. I argue that his pedagogies and transcriptions were recursively interrelated. Czerny was simultaneously a mechanic of the hand pedagogically and a mechanical reproducer of symphonies transcriptively, creating a multivalent corpus that forces us to rethink the media-theoretical concept of "mechanical reproduction" vis-à-vis "Discourse Network 1800."

Balıkesir Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Güzel Sanatlar Eğitimi Ana Bilim Dalı, Etüt çalışmaları, piyano eğitiminde herhangi bir tekniği en etkili öğrenme yöntemlerindendir. Piyano eğitiminde etüt denilince akla gelen en önemli isimlerden birisi Carl Czerny ve etütleridir. Türkiye’de piyano eğitimi veren güzel sanatlar liseleri, konservatuarlar, eğitim fakülteleri müzik eğitimi bölümleri gibi kurumlarda Carl Czerny’nin başlangıç seviyesinde sayılabilecek bazı etütleri yaygın olarak öğretilir. Genellikle daha detaylı ve karmaşık etütleri öğretilmez, çalınmaz ya da bu etütler çoğu eğitmen ve öğrenci tarafından da tanınmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Carl Czerny’nin başlangıç seviyesindeki etütleri yanında az tanınan, karmaşık, uzun ve “ustalık” seviyesinde sayılabilecek etütlerini tanıtmaktır. Betimsel tarama modelinde desenlenen çalışmada veriler doküman incelemesi yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doküman analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle Carl Czerny’nin etütleri genel olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda ilk olarak başlangıç seviyesindeki, “kolay” sayılabilecek etütleri ile beraber biraz daha az tanınan ustalık seviyesine kadar olan bütün metotları tanıtılmıştır. Çalışmanın bir sonraki adımında, içerdiği zor ve karmaşık teknik yapılar ve müzikal fikirler gözetilerek seçilen Op.740 metodu detaylı olarak form yapısı, müzikal fikirleri ve teknik yönleri ile incelenmiştir. Ardından her bir etüdün hangi amaçla, hangi form ve hangi müzikal fikir ile sunulduğu teker teker açıklanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda Czenry etütlerin başlangıçtan ustalık seviyesine kadar öğrencilerin veya usta icracıların her zaman ve her seviyede yararlanabileceği, içinde çok sayıda karmaşık teknik hareketler bulunan kaynaklar olduğu görülmektedir. Op. 740 “The Art of Finger Dexterity” metodu incelendiğinde ise, kitapta yer alan etütlerin teknik ve müzikal olarak oldukça zengin bir yapıya sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tek bölmeli şarkı formuna sahip iki etüt dışında tüm etütlerde yoğun bir müzikal fikir vardır. Kitapta yer alan etütlerin büyük çoğunluğu majör tonlarda, basit ölçü birimlerinde ve ABA üçlü formda yazılmıştır. Etütler çok çeşitli teknik yapılar içermektedir. Bu teknik yapılar içerisinde en sık kullanılan arpej tekniğidir. Bu çalışmanın Carl Czerny’nin yaygın olarak çalışılan “basit” etütlerinin dışında zor ve karmaşık etütlerinin de çalışılması konusunda istekli olan eğitmen ve öğrenciler için rehber görevi göreceği düşünülmektedir., Etudes are one of the most efficient learning methods to acquire any technique in piano education. When it comes to the etudes in piano education, Carl Czerny and his etudes are one of the most significant names that spring to mind. Carl Czerny’s beginner level etudes are taught in the institutions such as the fine arts high schools, conservatoires and departments of music education that give piano education. However, his more complicated and detailed etudes are not taught, played or these etudes are not known by most of the educators and students. The aim of this study is to introduce Carl Czerny’s complicated, long and ‘’mastery’’ level etudes along with his beginner level etudes. In the study, which was designed in descriptive scanning model, the data were collected by document review method. The obtained data were analyzed by document analysis method. Within the scope of the study, primarily, Carl Czerny's etudes are discussed in general. In this sense, all of his etudes are introduced from the etudes which can be considered ‘’easy’’ at the beginner level up to the slightly less known mastery level. In the next step of the study, the Op.740 method, which was chosen by considering the difficult and complex technical structures and musical ideas it contains, was examined in detail with its form structure, musical ideas and technical aspects. Then, each of the etudes was explained in terms of their aim, form and musical ideas respectively. As a result of the research, it is seen that Czenry etudes are resources with many complex technical movements that students or master performers can benefit from at all times and at all levels, from beginner to mastery level. When the "The Art of Finger Dexterity" method is examined, it has been determined that the etudes in the book have a very rich structure technically and musically. Except for the two etudes which have unitary form, all etudes have an intense musical idea. Most of the etudes in the book are written in major tones, simple time signatures and ABA ternary form. Etudes include a wide variety of technical structures. Among them, the most commonly used arpeggio technique. It is thought that this study will serve as a guide for educators and students who are willing to study the difficult and complex studies of Carl Czerny, apart from his widely studied simple etudes.

- Abstract
Carl Czerny is unquestionably a well-known figure in the history of nineteenth-century pianism. He was a pupil of the great Beethoven, and later taught young Franz Liszt, thereby initiating a pedagogical lineage that continues to this day. Czerny’s pedagogical material is still relevant to contemporary piano education, and many of his treatises are valuable resources for understanding Classical and early Romantic musical culture. Although Czerny is known for being an accomplished piano teacher, he was also a highly prolific composer. His oeuvre totals 861 opus numbers, many of which contain multiple pieces. Czerny also penned a variety of compositions that did not receive opus numbers. Aside from his etudes and pedagogical treatises, Czerny’s reputation as a composer was centered on his opera fantasies and potpourris, for which he gained favor with the public and disdain from music critics. Robert Schumann wrote many scathing remarks about Czerny’s music in the Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik; other composers, including Chopin and Liszt, respected Czerny as a musician but rarely said favorable things about his music. While Czerny’s output does include trite pieces of shallow virtuosity, it also contains substantial works of careful craftsmanship, such as his eleven masterful piano sonatas. This document focuses primarily on the eleven piano sonatas, with special attention given to form and the holistic structure of the eleven sonata cycle. A deeper understanding of the composer’s particular genius will emerge through discussion of his use of form, harmony, and texture in his sonatas, and a compelling argument will be made for burnishing his reputation. A movement devoted to the promotion of Czerny’s music is already in progress, thanks to the efforts of the Carl Czerny blog, Basel-Classics releasing new editions of his works, and the Carl Czerny Festival held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada in 2002. This research will contribute to the ongoing campaign to recognize the significance and quality of the previously undervalued music of Carl Czerny. Advisor: Mark Clinton
