Also known as Op. 300 N°8; The Art of Preluding (Op. 300 - N° 8) - Carl Czerny.
History
The first gesture rises through a spread-out harmony and then changes register dramatically. Shape it as one sweep, not a string of equally stressed notes. A short prelude can still contain a substantial technical journey.

How to practise it
- Shape the spread-out chord tones as one gesture.
- Keep the quick line even across changes of register.
How hard is it
Level 7, estimated
Opening positions 1 and 2 move in fast sixteenths through widely separated registers, then combine chord elements with new patterns. Allegro vivo, tuplets and the large register changes support an advanced-intermediate estimate rather than the provider's coarse complexity label.
