At a time when demand for new teaching material had reached unprecedented heights, he supplied a sequence of works that appealed to the amateur market by virtue of their musical interest and appropriate technical demands.

Written for the burgeoning market for piano teaching material, the set of 25 Easy and Progressive Studies, Op.

100 was soon followed by the 18 Characteristic Studies, Op.

109, a continuation of the earlier set, each piece bearing a charming title.

They continue to provide a basis for teaching to this day.
