Étude in C minor "Revolutionary", Op. 10 No. 12
by Frédéric Chopin
PianoRomanticÉtude~3 minprofessional
Reportedly composed after Chopin learned of the fall of Warsaw to Russian forces in 1831, the "Revolutionary" Étude channels political fury into torrential left-hand passagework. The right hand declaims a defiant melody over unrelenting sixteenth-note figures that demand stamina and evenness across the entire range.
