Description
No.15 is among the largest studies in the collection, running 114 seconds with 2,960 notes. Sustaining such a volume of notes over this length makes pacing and mental endurance as important as raw speed. It stands as a comprehensive workout that serves as an important stepping stone toward more advanced technique.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
