Having learned Op. 10 No. 4 last year, I must say that I would rather play it than the Prelude. Yes, both are fast, but the Prelude is faster, and far less forgiving, I think.

I think the prelude is more difficult than the Etude to play properly.

Interesting. With me - prelude 16 - i practiced right hand without looking and only then i could focuse on my left hand. That was a good strategy at the time. With etude 10 no 4 it was different. Much more challenging for me and took me ages but yeah cool to the maximum. Thank You for writing ))
