Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Upon hearing the piece, it is easy to tell why it is nicknamed the "Wrong Note" etude. The main theme abounds with minor second intervals in the "alto" voice played almost simultaneously, leading to an impression of dissonant harmonies. The melody appears in the high voice, and repeats several times throughout the piece, with nuanced variations in execution. The middle section presents a new theme in the major. The main melody is in the upper voice of the left hand while the right hand accompanies with harp-like arpeggios.      Ishay Shaer
