Please I need Help (Chopin Op 10-12)
on: November 29, 2004, 06:48:19 PM
Hi guys. Please i need your help. I want to learn this piece in 4 months. I know many of you have played this etude, so any help would be useful.

Thanks in advance
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

relax is the first thing. also divide up the piece into sections. Learn the piece by sections. just go for it.

Great piece!
For the first time play it slow to get it under your firngers. Also get your fingerings correctly... The fingerings are important for you to play it with efficiency. Yeah. You can also divide it into sections...

Listen to a recording of this, and try to get the contrasts of certains sections...
Feel the music, and remember that it's called the Revolutionary because it was when Chopin's hometown was going through some kind of revolution...

Have fun!
