That etude is arguably the less technically challenging of the 24. Yet Chopin called it an "etude" which suggests there is something somehow specific to be learnt from it. That's where I'm a little bit puzzled, I don't have at my disposal any book (like Cortot's) to broaden my point of view.
Would like to read your ideas about it: what likely is the pedagogic purpose of the piece? |

Hi pianoforum! This is a fantastic source of knowlege.
I'm currently playing/memorizing the Chopin Etude 6 Opus 10. I started this
piece three weeks ago, and last week I began with Fugue #1 WTC from Bach.
And honestly I find the Fugue much easier to memorize! The Etude just sounds
so strange, it's really hard for me to get a "feeling" for its sound, where it is
going to move next,... Bach on the contrary has nice melodic lines, you can sing
along. My thought on this is that I'm just not used to the harmonies involved,
so could you name any pieces that a similar to this one? Any other help to
efficiently memorize this piece would be appreciated! I'm currently in a state
where I have memorized 2/3 of the piece hands separate. But I'm feeling that
this is not very good for three weeks of practicing. |

| Chopin's etude #6 Op. 10 is very slow and calm throughout... so what is the big deal? I imagine etudes to always be difficult physically such as large ranges and/or fast tempo, but this song has neither.... so what's up?[color=Red][/color] |
