Thank you so much Paul, you have been my piano teacher for almost 15 years now!

It almost sounds like a ragtime piece. But it’s sweet and joyful and anxious and melancholic. So wonderful.

Thank you so much Paul. I’m learning this now, it’s beyond all my ambitions as the only other Chopin etude I play is No 1. It’s a joy to play, especially with your lesson. Cheers!

I was so determinated to learn this piece but then I saw the key signature, oh god 😭

I just started learning this. I've never played any Chopin Etudes before, so its going to be a tough one lol

In my score the second note is a quaver which means that this note needs to be pressed down when playing the two staccato notes. This gives another impression and makes the sound different for the third and fourth semiquavers with staccato. Unfortunately it is not possible to post a picture of the score here.

Thank you Paul for this video! I am a 14 year old and I’m learning this piece for a competition in a couple of months. These tips really helped me get the feeling, and movement of the piece! Thanks😁

Hi Paul, Fantastic video this is a massive help. I was just wondering what microphone you are using to record you piano?

[davidtoth]

Hey there @Paul Barton I am currently studying this Etude and I am encountering some issues with the pedal. Am i to release it on the 3rd semiquaver and only put it on the next 1st semiquaver of the following group of 4 semiquavers? I've tried using the pedal in alot of different ways and never get it to it sounding like I want 😭
Could you help me with this?

Thank you for making this tutorial, I can only play Bach's prelude in C major, do you think I can practice this piece

[sugarpacketchad]

Awesome Job! (Are you implying that Chopin copied Beethoven's theme)?

[calvinhu]
