OpusOp.299 No.18
Description
No.18 runs 48 seconds with 806 notes, a study of standard length but relatively moderate density. Coming after several denser pieces, it allows more attention to tone and touch quality rather than sheer finger speed alone. It works well as a check-in on fundamentals.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
