Summary

Description
English: I thought: in my piano Etudes List for teaching and learning, it should content some pieces of Czerny's, as for the educational reasonability and the succession from my own childhood to my adulthood.(Oh, thirty...)

This piece was from Carl Czerny 's <Fast Etude - 299 Collection>, which has been collected for many national grading tests and piano examinations. Sorry, I forgot its number, regarding with which I would add in future. It also needs some modifications and perfections owing to my short time training. If you want me self-put it into Czerny's categories of music, I probably will give it in '1) studies and exercises' and ' 2) easy pieces for students', rather than some 'serious music' or 'brilliant pieces for concerts'. (Wikipedia introduction of Carl Czerny's list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Carl_Czerny) Though I think it is sound good, if performed for family-based concert or small-scale solo-parties in life, I know it is only a small river - simple for middle-up piano kids' exercising.

To be honest, in my mind, Sir Carl Czerny's approach was in quite traditional & formal piano teaching methodology representing some elements of 'The Industrial Revolution'. Or, to say, he was part of ' The Industrial Revolution'. I had a very complicated and somehow a little bit conflict heart to talk about his approach. I knew it was quite important for piano kids' teaching and learning; therefore, from childhood, I was insisted on practicing it until some pieces of 718, totally throughout, 599, 849, 299 and large part of 740. However, some 'nightmares' in my own piano trainings, jumping out from his pieces. usually made my trainings in big headaches, even broke out some my 'family wars' for tutor's examinations. Currently, when I talked over them, I can forgive myself and transform them to be beautiful pearls of memory neck-chain twining around my growth. At least, without some trainings and time-after-time exercising, my hands cannot be strong like today for my loves of other composers, such as Debussy, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and Clementi ... I also cannot make my own classes and researches both here and my reality. Thanks, Sir Czerny in my childhood!

Without depth, intensity, or wit, but always smooth and pretty and rather ear-tickling when played fast ... endless variety of patterns and endless monotony of import - Oh, it was Arthur Loesser's voice in "Men, Women and Pianos",

And even, "It would be difficult to find a failure of imagination greater than that of Czerny." - Robert Schumann in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Musical Gazette) - was more explicit 'from piano kids' heart-voices'

(Referenced from Wikipedia Introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Czerny )

I thought: some criticisms were really - some pieces have really lost their senses of aesthetics and like 'monotony machines' in patterns repeated time after time to tire fingers. That's the fact. But, in dialectics, players and piano kids have our own ideas and creativities in playing them and seeking life joyfulness. In this vision, it's road has been opened in new outlooks.

Like this piece I have played in sound file, I preferred it to be a impressionism painting rather than a fast-exercise of fingers (carrying impressionism approach), after your right hearing:

It was divided into 4 parts, with middle two smart-handed, small-movement, and details-fuzzily creating a background - soft buds' growth from ground or on trees (Wikipedia introduction:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud). 

You see, so many pictures here with beautiful imaginations we can give to this vision. Meanwhile, Bass drops gave the spring its rhythm. And especially, treble part's long-notes were forming a beautiful vocal song-line of spring - with breaths in slurs - singing beautifully throughout whole melody, until a final decreasing loudness of night-bird in sunset grow into silence and the darkness. Oh, it was a funny thing that: in this version, you can also hear life noises of my father, mother and aunt's talks, about cooking ways and how to hasten Jason's behaviours: Oh, boy, go to eat meal... go to eat meal... In my philosophy, they were oppositely building up my willing of insistence and completion of music performances, in a 'always young teenager's heart' O(∩_∩)O~ They were always part of my impressions regarding with my memories about Sir Czerny's Etudes from childhood... Every time family members were cooking there, while, I was self-exercising of Czerny's for the next weekend tutorials in a hungry feeling. I still needed to keep some good manners and make better sound effects. They were in my 'Spring Song', now after adult birthday, I am looking back to...

As show above, in piano education, if we mean some pieces of Czerny's pieces some senses of aesthetics and some beautiful imageries when we were organizing our classrooms, we can try to imagine and they wouldn't be so monotony and boring as we thought before. Afterwards, textures would carry some new vitalities for life and seasons...

That's my stance in solving my complex from childhood... Hopefully, it will be useful for you, thanks!
