Description
No.20 balances tempo and length well, delivering 946 notes over 48 seconds. Falling just past the halfway point of the 40-study set, it offers a chance to confirm the finger agility built so far while preparing for what comes next. It suits focused practice without overtaxing the player.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
