Description
No.26 packs 1,065 notes into a brief 43 seconds, a short but densely written study. Despite its modest length, the note rate stays high, calling for a burst of concentration much like a short sprint. It works well as a quick technical check when time is limited.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
