[Chopin] Etude Op.10 No.6 e flat minor
쇼팽 에뛰드
Valentina Lisitsa
No. 6, like No. 3, is almost a nocturne, its elegiac character resulting from a long-line melody being poised above a melodic counterpoint whose 'insistent, recurrent fluctuations...which are like human breathing or a gentle throbbing ... constantly envelop the melody like an aura" (Schmitz). Striking harmonies, subtly conceived, underline the prevailing mood. Time stands still during the few minutes of its duration as Chopin conveys feelings for which there are no
words.
