OpusOp.299 No.24
Description
No.24 has an average length of 63 seconds but a somewhat elevated density with 1,690 notes, working out to nearly 27 notes per second. This suggests a texture of unbroken fine figuration that tests finger agility while also demanding conscious release of tension in the arm.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
