Etude no.21 - Op.25 no.9: Gb-major

Recording by Pollini

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what the exact purpose of this etude is...Perhaps it is about playing rapid octaves in succession (while alternating the octaves with chords)? The left hand looks like it could be working on precise jumps, because there is a lot of jumping from single lower notes to higher chords.
