- Etude in E Major Op.10 No.3
Product description
Chopin's Etude In E Major (Op. 10 No. 3) is often cited as his most popular Etude. First published in 1833, it is often referred to as Tristesse or Farewell, alhough neither name was apparently authorised by the composer. While not quite as technically formidable as his other compositions, it is one of the more musically challenging to balance due to its lyrical melody and suspended inner harmonies.
Fryderyk Chopin (1810-1849) was a Polish composer and piano virtuoso of French-Polish origin. He is considered one of the greatest masters of Romantic music. He wrote his works primarily for solo piano and all his other compositions also contain a piano part. His major piano works include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, instrumental ballads, etudes, preludes and sonatas. He also wrote two piano concertos, several chamber works and several songs on Polish texts. Some of his compositions were published posthumously.
