Full of intrigue, Giuliani’s Op.100 offers plenty of fun and challenging patterns for both hands. The difficulty level is suitable for beginner and intermediate students alike.
Etude No.1 in C major simply has “Cadenze” or Cadenza in the subtitle. In this piece, it means that this short work might serve as a rhythmically free or improvisational portion of a larger piece for virtuosic display.
The Italian term Maestoso found at the beginning of the piece indicates that the piece is meant to be played in a dignified, majestic fashion. Counting the eighth note rests among the sequential sixteenth note phrases may present the biggest challenge in this piece.
