Chopin's Études

As their name indicates, Chopin's Études were designed to give budding pianists the workout of a lifetime, each one presenting a particular technical challenge that must be surmounted to reach the rarefied air of the greats. But though many composers wrote challenging Études, Chopin's are the rare set that are valued, much more than as mere technical exercises, for their exquisite beauty and musicality. Explore the remarkable complete set here, including Op. 10, Op. 25, and the Trois nouvelles études.
