chopin études
on: July 19, 2008, 08:59:55 PM
I've done many of the études but I'm looking for a few good ones to study.  I have relatively small hands (reaching a 10th).

Which one or two of these would be the best for me to learn next:
10.1
10.4
10.8
25.5

Why do they serve round pizzas in a square box?
If flying is so safe, then why do they call the airport the "terminal?"
Why do we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway?

Any of them, but try to get hold of Vladimir de Pachmann's edition of 10.1. It has several fingerings suited to smaller hands. Very useful.
