Description
The Three Nouvelles Études, B.130, are said to have been written for a piano method compiled by Moscheles and others, separate from the Op.10 and Op.25 étude sets. Despite their modest scale, they concentrate characteristic touches of Chopin's writing, such as intricate cross-rhythms and smooth voice exchange, offering the appeal of refined miniatures rather than large concert works.
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.
