Phillip Sear plays an 'agitato' study from a set of studies entitled 'L'art de phraser: 26 Etudes mélodiques' Op  16 by Stephen Heller.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Since recording some other studies a few years ago, I have rather neglected the music of the Hungarian pianist and composer Stephen Heller (Heller István (1813 -- 88)) - mainly owing the the unfeasibly large hands needed to perform many of his works correctly.  This set of studies was first published in 1840, but revised in 1844, with extra studies added.  Hence the numbering of each piece within Op. 16 varies, and there may well be other numberings in different editions (some later editions have anywhere between 24 and 26 studies in them!).
