OpusOp.299 No.36
Description
No.36 from the 40 Etudes Op.299. Among the densest of all forty etudes, it packs many notes into a short span, testing the player's ability to voice them evenly and quickly. It balances finger independence in fast passages with a light, relaxed touch.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
