Description
No.4 is one of the briefer studies in the set, running just 22 seconds with 402 notes. Its short span calls for a burst of sustained concentration, training quick, momentary finger action. True to Czerny's practical teaching aims, it favors technical efficiency over showy effect.
Forty studies by Czerny that build the technique for fast passagework, developing finger independence and agility.
