Description
Étude Op.10 No.9 in F minor pairs wide left-hand leaps with an expressive, singing right-hand melody. It requires both precise control of those leaps and genuine musical phrasing in the melody above. Its mood shifts between intensity and melancholy, making it well suited to players working on technique and expression together.
A collection of études by various composers, including Chopin's famous "Revolutionary" Étude, designed to build finger independence and expressive technique.

About the Composer
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Frederic Chopin was born in Poland and made his career in Paris, remaining unusual among great composers for writing almost exclusively for piano. He poured his longing for his homeland into mazurkas and polonaises, while his ballades and etudes combine poetic melody with harmonic innovation. This site includes 131 of his works, including the "Revolutionary" Etude, Op. 10, No. 12, and Ballades No. 1 and No. 4.
