3 Études, No. 3 (Chopin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The third and last of Chopin's "Trois Nouvelles Études" composed in 1839 as a contribution to Méthode des méthodes de piano, a piano instruction book by Ignaz Moscheles and François-Joseph Fétis, this piece in D-flat major is probably the most technically challenging in this collection, while still being far more manageable than most of the composer's Opp. 10 and 25. It develops independence of voices and articulation in the right hand, with the upper melodic line quite legato over a staccato alto accompaniment. Some of the reaches required between the alto and soprano lines might be difficult for pianists with smaller hands.
