Moritz Moszkowski’s Étude Op. 72, No. 2 in G Minor captures the sparkling virtuosity and refined elegance of the late Romantic "salon" style. As the second entry in his celebrated 15 Études de Virtuosité, this work serves as an essential technical study for the advanced pianist, focusing on rapid-fire finger dexterity, leggiero articulation, and the seamless execution of undulating sixteenth-note scales.
