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.23 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 slurs, active melodic lines, fretboard navigation with shifts, and mental focus. There is nothing particularly difficult about this etude in terms of awkwardness but the allegro tempo marking makes the constant exploration of the fretboard an opportunity for error. That said, with consistent practice and familiarity with the shifts, the etude is very satisfying and a great opportunity to test your essential skills at faster tempos.
