The twenty-five etudes in Op.60 by Matteo Carcassi (1796-1853) are one of the most important pedagogical collections for classical guitar. The etudes are both enjoyable for their musical content and pedagogically beneficial for their very clear technical objectives. Compared to other etude collections, both period and modern, Op.60 excels in its tightly focused compositional adherence to didactic goals. For this reason the etudes are excellent studies for students to test their skills in a controlled musical setting and a right of passage from the intermediate to upper playing level.

Etude No.20 is at a technique level of around Grade 7-8 depending on your desired tempo and level of musical refinement. This etude presents study opportunities for triadic arpeggios, left and right hand accuracy, right hand string crossings, RH thumb sweeps, shifts and more. I graded this etude based on its short length and lack of awkward fingerings but at faster tempos with more refinement this etude presents very significant challenges that can be considered quite advanced even at the professional level.
