About the piece
Twenty four studies by Stephen Heller, aimed at the developing player who has mastered the mechanics but not yet the expression. Each takes a single problem of touch, phrasing or rhythm and builds a short character piece around it.
Heller's reputation rests almost entirely on collections like this one. He was a serious composer whose concert works are now largely forgotten, while his teaching pieces have never left the studio.
