Ocean Waves Op.692 No.20 (Op.692 No.20, 24 Grandes etudes caracteristiques)-Carl Czerny

[Cool Czerny!] 24 Grandes Etudes Characteristics, Op.692 No.20 "Ocean Waves"

When people think of Czerny, they often imagine rigorous technical exercises like "Op. 299 (School of Velocity)" or "Op. 740 (Art of Finger Dexterity)." However, 24 Characteristic Studies, Op. 692 is completely different—it is a collection of concert etudes designed for performance and showmanship, equal in brilliance to the etudes of Chopin and Liszt.

No. 20, "Ocean Waves," features passionate, fiery arpeggios set in C minor alongside a dramatic melody that will captivate you from the very first listen (or performance)!

The marked tempo is Allegro molto agitato (♩=160)—extremely fast! However, you don't need to rush. Even if you play it at a comfortable, slower pace, you can still fully enjoy its deep, rich, and magnificent sonorities.

【Recommended for:】

🎹 Anyone bored with standard Czerny exercises

🎹 Pianists looking for an impressive, lesser-known piece to showcase at recitals or in performance videos
