Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Etude, opus 25                        Frédéric Chopin

Written between 1829 -1832, each of Frederic Chopin's Etudes, opus 25 present a given technical challenge, but are also miniatures of great expressive nuance, specific mood and poetic gesture.  One of Chopin's gifts as a composer was to be able to communicate a different world in every Etude, within a limited amount of space. (I. Faliks)

Etude, Op. 25, No. 7 

This piece is one of the masterworks of Chopin's melodic and poetic genius. It is not a "virtuoso" etude-i.e. based on a particular technical challenge-but a study of counterpoint (two melodic lines combined). For the interpreter, it is a study in tone color possibilities, and a challenge in finding a balance among all its different voices. However, the most important aspect in performing this piece is to create a feeling of great  poetry and art.    A. M. Ammara

Chopin old friend, you have been with me so many times, curtailing woes, deepening joys. You've never left me, always carried me through storms and blizzards and helped in hazardous occasions through cliff and crag puting on my forehead shining breakthroughs, showering me with discoveries and awesome views and blowing on my soul insights of love,sorrow, passion and hope...
