Study in C Major (Op. 740 No. 1) - Czerny
The purpose of this challenging study is to develop evenness of finger action with a quiet hand. The majority of the sixteenth-note passages are in “five-finger "position with occasional scalic runs. To avoid injury to smaller hands, the octave reach in the opening right hand chord may be eliminated and substituted with C-E-G, maintaining “G” as the top note. Similar substitution or omission is suggested at measures 5, 26, 63, 70, 74, 82, and 83.
