You will find ambitious forms ideal for developing endurance and musical structure, notably with the Sonata in B Flat Op.106 and the Sonata in G Minor Op. 105. The collection also emphasizes agility and precision through the Three Preludes Op. 104 Part 1 and the Three Etudes Op. 104 Part 2, as well as mastery of counterpoint with the Prelude And Fugue In E Minor.
