| Added by magataganm, 26 Jan 2019 Frédéric François Chopin (1810 – 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Before Chopin, there was a tradition of writing studies for the development of keyboard technique, but the pieces were primarily didactic. This set of 12 Études, dedicated to Liszt, represents a new form: concert pieces that serve a secondary function as development of advanced piano skills. Each étude begins with a pattern of pianistic figuration, which creates the specific technical problem for the étude and persists for the duration of the piece. That Chopin was able to create poetry in spite of such controlled and limited means of expression is a testament to his creative genius. The "Waterfall Étude" in C Major (Op. 10 No. 1) is a series of wide-spanning arpeggios, expanding and contracting the right-hand, set over a simple sustained bass. It is a work of majestic beauty in spite of the simplicity of means. Source: AllMusic (https://www.allmusic.com/composition/etudes-12-for-pia no-op-10-ct-14-25-mc0002369677 ). Although originally composed for solo piano, I created this Transcription of the "Waterfall Étude" in C Major (Op. 10 No. 1) for Concert (Pedal) Harp.
