pozzoli intermediate difficulty studies (study no. 16)

Very beautiful étude. The right hand is entirely a flourish where the 4th and 5th fingers are exercised; the melody is in the bass except in the central part where it is inverted. It is an étude for speed and lightness of accompaniment, and to make the voice emerge in the bass chords (management of energy balance on the notes composing the chord, in which only the melodic note must emerge intelligibly).

In terms of reading, it is not a difficult étude at all; you can approach it with great serenity by concentrating well on the voices.

Hi Simone, sorry but I was out of Italy for work........anyway, I've been working hard on this study for a couple of weeks and I must say it is anything but simple, but it gives a lot of satisfaction, especially it helps a lot to loosen the wrist articulation

(right hand)....one realizes how much the wrist with a rotary gesture helps the hand and its mobility, avoiding unnecessary contractions and related fatigue; on the other hand, even the left hand has its work to do jumping from one octave to another, the difficulty in the latter is playing chords in "crescendo" without crushing the sound and making it muddy.

Long live studies and their utility

bye
