Etude no.23 - Op.25 no.11: A-minor

Recording by Perahia

This piece is founded on the chromatic scale and is focused on agility. The pianist has to focus on accentuating the melody without letting the accompaniment get too loud; this can be difficult because part of the accompaniment is in the same hand that the melody is in.

This etude is one of those dynamic ones that would be absolutely stunning to see live in concert.
