Free Czerny No. 12

This is No. 12 from Practical Piano Exercises, Op. 599 by Carl Czerny. Often this Op. 599 is titled in English as "Practical Exercises for Beginners" or "Practical Method for Beginners". However, we titled it as "Practical Piano Exercises" and removed "for Beginners" from the title. Only the exercises from No. 1 through No. 10 of Op. 599 are considered for beginners. After that, they get more advanced. 

Please notice that both clefs are in the treble clef. 

The fingering numbers on No. 12 are provided on fewer notes than exercises No. 1 through No. 10. We provided them only for the intervals that are bigger than the 2nd such as intervals of 3rd and 4th. 

This No. 12 exercise is very similar to No. 11. However, the melody has a lot of 8th notes in No. 12. No. 12 exercise is the 1st one from Op. 599 that has 8th notes. It has C 5-finger position (scale) for the right hand for the entire exercise as No. 11. And the right-hand plays the melody. The left hand also stays close to C 5-finger position to play chords; I (tonic), V (dominant), and V7 (dominant 7th) chords just like No. 11. Please carefully follow the fingering numbers. Using the proper fingering numbers is the main purpose of this exercise.
