Moszkowski Op. 72: 15 Virtuoso Studies

“15 Études de virtuosité («Per aspera»), Op. 72” is a work by Moritz Moszkowski (1854–1925) with 15 pieces, difficulty 8–9/10. Fifteen brilliant, elegant studies from the early 20th century, written very much for the piano: speed, double notes and leaps in a late-Romantic idiom. 15 of them have a playable score in Estudio de Piano, with the microphone or MIDI.
