Recording by Perahia
In this etude, Chopin shows his emotional side. This is a slow etude, containing a tempo marking of "lento." Don't be fooled by this, however. Though the beat is slow, the rhythm is actually quite fast in some areas where the left hand has chromatics to deal with. I like how Chopin characteristically gives almost equal weight to both hands, instead of just giving the left hand a simple accompaniment or the right hand a simple melody.
