Description:
Czerny's Op. 718 is a set of 24 studies that emphasize training the left hand. The work is not a collection of solo studies as one might guess from the title, though it focuses on the dexterity of the left hand. The studies include the following types of technique: scales, double thirds, full (four-note)chords, arpeggios, skips, melody and accompaniment in the left-hand part, turns staccato 16ths, passing of the second finger over the first, fast repeating notes with changing fingers, an excersise to strengthen the fourth and fifthe fingers, grace notes, and octaves.
