[Chopin] Etude Op.10 No.10 A flat major
쇼팽 에뛰드
Valentina Lisitsa
No. 10, composed with No. 9 as a pair, alternates sixths with broken octaves in an intricate and bewildering variety of manners of articulation (usually ignored by most pianists). Close attention reveals how "modern" the writing is and how it anticipates the future via a flirtation with the wholetone scale (bar 54) and its cross-accents. Chopin intended it as an expression of sweetness and lightness. Von Bülow said of it, 'He who can play this etude in a really finished manner may congratulate himself on having climbed to the highest point of the pianists' Parnassus."
