Description
No. 2 moves into G major, easing players into a key with one sharp. Its 498 notes over 49 seconds work well for singing the right-hand melody while keeping the left-hand accompaniment steady. The note flow feels lighter than in No. 1, calling for a softer touch.
A set of melodious studies by Czerny covering all 24 keys, valued as a way to develop technique and musicality at the same time.
