The Études by Frédéric Chopin are three sets of solo studies for the piano. There are twenty-seven overall, comprising two separate collections of twelve, numbered Opus 10 and 25, and a set of three without opus number.
The twelve études of Opus 25 were composed at various times between 1832 and 1836, and were published in France, Germany, and England in 1837.
Although sets of exercises for piano had been common from the end of the 18th century (Muzio Clementi, J. B. Cramer, Ignaz Moscheles, and Carl Czerny were composers of the most significant), Chopin's not only presented an entirely new set of technical challenges, but were the first to become a regular part of the concert repertoire. His études combine musical substance and technical challenge to form a complete artistic form.They are often held in high regard as the product of mastery of combining the two. His effect on contemporaries such as Franz Liszt was apparent, based on the revision Liszt made to his series of concert études after meeting Chopin.
The last of the twenty-four etudes bring the set full circle. In the Etude No. 1 in C major, the right hand consists of extremely fast ascending and descending arpeggios with frequent modulation. In this etude, both hands consist of extremely fast ascending and descending arpeggios with frequent modulation! However, there are numerous differences between the two, as we shall soon see.
One does not actually play an arpeggio in the regular sense. Nearly the entire piece is built on a rather fixed but interesting structure. It is easier to look at the excerpt of music above than to explain it in words! This is one of Chopin’s stormiest and most impassioned compositions, and the rigid structure should not prevent one from playing it so,
this is one of the more difficult etudes.
It is an etude requiring great strength and profound emotion with highly technical demands. The tumultuous arpeggio figurations sweeping up and down the keyboard could signify a violent storm. The rapid and powerful runs in parallel motion achieve a sense of unity and intensity. The frequently accented notes either on- or off-beat are punctuated within the majestic melodic line. This is a study for developing the mobility in both hands, and for maintaining the physical endurance.
