Quick facts from the RTV ranking

The easiest Czerny Op. 849 study on this list is No. 10, with 4,332 RTV points.

The hardest Czerny Op. 849 study on this list is No. 9, with 202,000 RTV points.

The collection begins at Level 4 and reaches Level 8, making it a significant step beyond easier Czerny collections such as Op. 599 and Op. 139.

Most of the studies fall between Level 7 and Level 8, even though the set begins with several easier pieces.

The original order does not perfectly match the RTV difficulty order. For example, No. 10 is the easiest study in the set on RTV, while No. 9 is the hardest.

This makes Op. 849 especially useful for teachers and students who want to choose studies by technical level instead of simply moving through the book from No. 1 to No. 30.

About RTV points and levels

Road to Virtuosity uses both points and levels to show difficulty. Levels give a broad category, while RTV points give a more specific ranking within that category.

RTV points are based on the overall difficulty of learning and performing a piece. This can include factors such as length, tempo, rhythm, hand coordination, articulation, repeated patterns, finger control, speed, musical clarity, and the amount of consistency needed to perform the piece accurately.

Because points are more detailed than levels, two pieces can have the same level but still have different RTV point values. The piece with more RTV points is ranked as more difficult.

About Czerny’s 30 New Studies in Technics Op. 849

Czerny’s 30 New Studies in Technics, Op. 849, is one of his most useful intermediate technical collections. It is often used as a bridge between easier beginner studies and more advanced velocity work.

The studies focus on practical piano technique, including even passagework, broken chords, scales, hand coordination, articulation, rhythmic control, and finger independence.

Compared with easier Czerny collections, Op. 849 asks for more speed, clarity, endurance, and technical consistency. The pieces are still short and focused, but many of them require a much stronger level of control.

Why this ranking is useful

The title “30 New Studies in Technics” suggests a progressive technical book, but the RTV ranking shows that the difficulty does not rise evenly from No. 1 to No. 30.

Some later studies are much easier than earlier ones, and some early studies are among the most difficult in the entire set.

This is where the RTV ranking helps. Instead of treating Op. 849 as one fixed sequence, each study receives its own point value and level.

That makes it easier for pianists and teachers to choose the right Czerny study at the right stage of technical development.
