Étude Op 25 No 1 (in A flat major) by Frédéric Chopin, performed by Paul Cantrell
Paul Cantrell describes Étude Op 25 No 1 (in A flat major):
https://innig.net/music/recordings/ith_chopin-25-1.mp3
The word “étude” means study — a practice piece, designed to exercise a particular technique. Études for musicians are generally dry, repetitious pieces, not music to perform, but just exercises for practice. So Chopin’s choice of that title may seem a little understated, or even ironic: his études certainly do exercise one’s technique, but they are expressive, poetic, passionate, and anything but dry.
I think the title fits beautifully: shouldn’t learning always be this way?
