Chopin

Does anyone know the story behind the Chopin Revolutionary
Etude?

[Hmoll]

Manchester United???......What???

As long as we're pulling legs, I should tell my story about the Prok 6th sonata.

The opus 10 etudes were composed as a set between the years @1828-1832. The popular story of op10#12 is it is supposed to represent the turbulent feelings Chopin experienced when news of the Warsaw uprising reached him on his way to Paris. There is, however, nothing to substantiate this, and many think he actually wrote the piece in 1832. As anyone who has read anything about this composer knows, he never gave any of his etudes the descriptive names some of them now have - "Winter Wind," "Ocean Roll," etc.

...not to mention his etudes called "Beckham Sent Packing to Madrid," or "Roy Keane Suspended."
