Starting to learn a Chopin's Etude

[faa2010]

I listened the Chopin's Etude 25 n 5, and I would like to play it.

Unfortunately, I feel I still don't have the level to do it, apart from the fact that I am learning other pieces right now.

What I can think right now is in playing short pieces which can help me in the goal in the future.

Could you recommend me which short pieces I can learn meanwhile?

Since you helped me out, I'll help you ^^
Other etudes before this one, it's one of the toughest! (If I'm thinking about the right etude O.o Etude in thirds, right?)
Some etudes to recommend:
10/2- helps get used to and practice clumsy fingerwork
10/4- helps get your fingers moving extremely fast
10/5- same as 10/4, but slightly different motions (and it's a lot easier... and some would argue more fun!)
10/11- Aside from being one of the most beautiful etudes IMO, it helps with long stretches in both LH and RH.
For musical details, study the mazurkas. As many as you want, preferably no less than 5-10. I know it seems devilish, but you'll thank me- even if they don't do wonders for your technique, they're still beautiful pieces. I'll recommend 6/1, 7/1, 17/4, either 24/4 or 27/4, can't remember the opus number (it's g minor, famous one!),67/2 (spoiler alert: there's a jazz progression!) among others.

I like to play shorter pieces that are similar and or inspired by Chopin as a way to take a break from the standard (i actually do not really like Chopin, but the style is catchy sometimes). I have this book and it is lovely:

ps there's a Disney one too that's lots of fun , I'm working on several from this album right now, and they pieces are delightful, and genuinely a joy to play, arranging is by several but it is very  well done overall, some are much more difficult than others, but doable with enough work, and the style will carry over to the pieces they are based on or inspired by

You have an overclination for these hybrid wanderings of the desirable and undesirable, Visitor.  No matter how you dress down Chopin, the best is Chopin himself.  You must have a truly unique Soulmate out there.

Op.25 #5 is the "wrong note" Etude, isn't it?  The Etude in Thirds is Op. 25 #6.

Studying several Schubert impromptus would probably be useful, musically speaking.  Technically, I would also recommend Op. 10 # 9 for learning how to play chords bigger than your left hand with grace, of which there are plenty.

To prepare the right hand for the middle section, Op. 10 # 1 is surprisingly helpful, though depending on your particular hand and technique, I'm not sure that's any easier than the goal piece itself!

. My ear just seeks out the novel if I will be playing something w a goal of it being extra prep work.  I so supplement w these little do dads however i remain in firmly grounded w the originals and more substantial in both standard and overlooked-forgotten literature
