A reasonable tempo range to aim for might be around 100-120 beats per minute. However, this can vary based on personal preference, technical ability, and interpretative choices. The key is to ensure that the musicality and clarity of the etude are maintained throughout, regardless of the tempo chosen. As always with Popper's etudes, the focus should be on technical development and musical expression, rather than simply playing fast. So, choose a tempo that allows you to best achieve these goals.
Popper's etudes are indeed renowned for their technical challenges, and chromatic passages can be especially tricky to navigate. When encountering such chromaticism, consider breaking down the etude into smaller sections, practicing slowly to internalize the finger patterns, and perhaps using fingerings or annotations to aid in readability. As you gradually become familiar with the etude, your reading and playing will improve. It's all about patience, repetition, and consistent practice.
