The Sprinter (Op. 599 No. 69) - Czerny
A useful study in rapid, legato scale passages alternating with detached thirds and sixths. The thirds and sixths may be played using a gentle forearm staccato keeping the wrist loose and the fingertips secure. The use of a relaxed wrist with a slight roll particularly when releasing each scale passage will prevent the scales from sounding “clipped”. The gentle release adds much to a musical presentation.
