No. 5, the celebrated "Black Key" etude, features entirely pentatonic right hand triplets (that is, on the black keys only) with ingratiating effect. How exotic it must have seemed to audiences in the 1830s! Although Chopin considered it insignificant, posterity has found it irresistible. Early in the 20th century, Leopold Godowsky transcribed it for the left hand alone and even made a contrapuntal combination of it with its counterpart in Op. 25, the 'Butterfly" etude.
