Speed with clarity - technique with artistry. Louis Köhler (1820-1886), one of the great architects of 19th-century piano pedagogy, created the Kleine Schule der Geläufigkeit, Op.242 (Little School of Velocity) to help pianists build effortless fluency at the keyboard. Far more than mechanical drills, these 20 progressive studies combine technical precision with musical expression, making practice engaging and artistically rewarding. Structured from easier to more advanced, the studies address the essential elements of velocity and dexterity: finger independence, evenness, articulation, and freedom of movement. Köhler's approach keeps the music alive while cultivating the control and speed that advanced repertoire demands.
