The studies in this set from Czerny’s op 299 have been recast in arrangements suitable as accompaniment to exercises in ballet class.  The arrangements are specifically offered to ballet pianists who may want to add Czerny pieces to their class repertory not only for the support the music gives to a particular exercise but because historically Czerny's studies have been foundational to most pianist's technical training.  When using these arrangements in ballet class the pianist will have the incidental benefit of Czerny's historically important pedagogy.  

The performances of the arrangements are published in Rudy Apffel’s album, “Czerny for Ballet Class, Arrangements and Re-Imaginings, Part One, 9 Studies from Op 299.”  The album is available on Youtube, Itunes, Spotify, Amazon and other platforms.

All three Variation Sets in this collection are set at the slow tempo typical of the accompaniment to plies and ronds de jamb a terre combinations at the barre.  Each set has a 4-count preparation before the theme and is structured thereafter in 16 phrases of 8 counts, allowing the typical practice of 8 phrases of 8 counts on the first side of the combination, then turning to the second side without stopping.

All three sets will be found in the digital album Rudy Apffel Variations and Adaptations for Ballet Class Vol. 3, R Schumann, J Brahms, available on Itunes, Youtube, Spotify, Amazon and other platforms.

This set of variations is made up of 7 short waltzes I composed based on the theme of Brahms’ waltz in d, Op 39 #9.  My waltzes can be played effectively at many different tempos, and I play them individually for different exercises in ballet class.  For this publication I string them together as a short recital piece in the traditional variation set process by which each waltz is contrasted with the theme and with the other waltzes as to tempo, expression, and dynamics.  It will be noticed that I give no tempo, expression or dynamic markings in my score.  My own performance can be found in my album Variations and Adaptations for Ballet Class, Volume 3, Schumann and Brahms, but I welcome any pianists interested enough in this piece to play it to make their own decisions as to tempo, etc.
