While many 19th century composers wrote music for keyboard instruments few devoted themselves as diligently to writing for the Piano as did Frederic Chopin. His love for the Piano was immense and his etudes were revolutionary and still present an historically significant system of playing. The melodies contained in this collection are as beautiful and captivating as any Piano literature. The teaching side of Chopin is reflected in his Etudes and this edition ensures that his diligent pedagogy and melodic genius are faithfully represented.
