Etude after Chopin and Dreyschock

[ronde_des_sylphes]

This should really be in a non-existent sub-section, seeing as it is not a performance in any true sense and I can't play it yet (or indeed, possibly ever).

Anyway, the idea is to have Chopin 10/2 in the rh and superimpose it on lh figures derived in the manner of Alexander Dreyschock's notorious octave rendition of the Revolutionary etude. I've not done it rigidly, even allowing for transposition that wouldn't work properly, but used figures selectively.

A bit of compositional fun I guess: sadly at this point I'll have to make do with a performance by Sibelius software's internal midi player. With sheet music:

It has the merit of not being as lengthy a workout as 10/12 in octaves

I think someone *will* be having a go

Haha, i think that is one for Artur Cimirro

Quite possibly! I think octave_revolutionary is going to have a go.

My lh octaves aren't good enough to play this at the required tempo. Half speed, I'll manage.. I actually tried the Dreyschock stunt many years ago and it was beyond me.
