Chopin's Etudes

In this post I am going to Introduce Chopin's Etudes.

But first I would like to say a word about the Henle Edition
of Music.

All of my good music - Bach~Beethoven~Mozart~Chopin -
is found in the Medium-Blue Bound books which are the
Henle Edition.   Maybe there are better editions but for
me Henle is the best.

I have a Henle Edition of Chopin Etudes which is complete:

Opus 10 - which includes 12 Etudes

Opus 25 - also 12 Etudes

and then there are three additional Etudes at the end.
~~~

Today I am going to give a very short summary of each of the
Etudes in Opus 10 and Opus 12 - in my own word (s).
Then starting tomorrow I will discuss all or maybe just some
of them separately.

So here it is - stidh's smart*ss summaries of Chopin's Etudes:
