Chopin - Etude Op.25 No. 7 Tips

[nina.beatriz]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working on Etude Op. 25 No. 7 and would appreciate any tips on how to improve my phrasing.

Here's a short little snippet:

Thank you

P.S. If you have any tips on how to work on the fast section do let me know!

Reduce the number of little ritardandos. Make it flow. if you are going to emphasise by preceding with a rit, make it rare.

Of course, much of the difficulty in this etude is the balance between voices. Make sure voices do not hide.

In particular, make sure the upper voice has equal status.

Thanks! Those are great tips (and I’ve been working on it since).

Do you have a piano teacher?
Curious what they say about your Chopin technique ... would you share?

I do have a teacher! His focus is very much on expression and musicality rather than just pure technique
