Once a student completes all 24 studies successfully (typically after 6–12 months of steady work), they are ready for:
The 24 Studi are not a final destination but a bridge – from mechanical correctness to expressive, fluid technique.

Here is a sample 30-minute routine using the Pozzoli PDF:
Ettore Pozzoli (1873–1957) was an Italian pianist, composer, and pedagogue. His 24 Studi di Facile Meccanismo (24 Studies of Easy Mechanism) is a foundational collection for beginner to early-intermediate pianists. It serves as a preparatory step before tackling more demanding technical studies, such as those by Czerny (Op. 599) or later Pozzoli studies (e.g., 16 Studi di Agilità).
“Pozzoli’s 24 Studi di Facile Meccanismo is one of the most underrated etude sets in the intermediate piano literature. It teaches the fingers to be agile without ever forgetting that the heart must also move.” The search term includes "PDF," indicating a search

Who should use it?
Adolescent or adult students who find Czerny boring, but who are not yet ready for Chopin etudes. Also excellent for pianists returning after a long break – the “easy mechanism” rebuilds finger independence safely. The 24 Studi are not a final destination
Before hunting for the PDF, it is crucial to understand what Pozzoli meant by “facile meccanismo” (easy mechanism). Unlike Czerny’s op. 299 (School of Velocity), which is often too difficult for early intermediates, Pozzoli’s op. 24 is designed for students who have just completed their first year of study.
Pozzoli believed that technical exercises should be musically satisfying and ergonomically logical. Each of the 24 studies targets a specific mechanical problem—finger independence, thumb passage, wrist rotation, or double notes—without demanding virtuosic speed. The “facile” (easy) aspect refers not to the musical content being childish, but to the physical comfort of playing them.
