Étude in A-flat majorOp. 10 No. 10

The tenth of Chopin's twelve Études Op. 10, published in 1833 and dedicated to Franz Liszt. Vivace assai in 12/8: the right hand's running eighth notes alternate single notes with sixths above them, now legato, now staccato, now accented, while the left hand rocks beneath; twice the music turns to E major before the opening returns a tempo. This edition follows the 1833 Paris first edition.
