OpusOp.299 No.38
Description
No.38 from the 40 Etudes Op.299. Like its neighboring etudes, it is long and note-dense, requiring the endurance to keep fast passages stable over an extended stretch. Beyond finger agility, it calls for maintaining tension and shape across the whole phrase.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
