Also known as Elementary Studies (op 176) Etude 7 by Jean Baptiste Duvernoy; École primaire.
History
This is one of Duvernoy’s 25 Elementary Studies, Op. 176. Pairs of neighboring notes give the opening its nimble character. The lower chords support that motion without needing to compete with it.

How to practise it
- Group each little upper pattern before adding the lower chord, keeping the wrist free when the shape changes.
How hard is it
Level 3, estimated
The opening uses continuous upper eighth-note neighbor figures over lower half-note chords. The longer encoded study asks for sustained evenness, phrase shaping and hand balance.
