How to practise this piece
Take it at 70 BPM first, then move up to 88 once the notes sit under your fingers.
What this piece trains
Tempo control in a short piece that invites rushing.
Where it usually goes wrong
The opening bars set a tempo that is too quick, so the fingers fall behind later.
Does it need shifting?
Range G3–B5; the top notes go beyond comfortable first position, so expect shifting or an extension.
Practice steps
- Play the whole study at 70 and confirm nothing is hurried.
- Add six at a time and require two clean passes before going higher.
