The famous Russian musicologist Ush Khillinsky wrote in his book Chopin: The Road to Life and Creation: "Etudes have not only become an orderly representation of a new style of piano music and its format, but also an artistic elevation of this style. "Chopin's etudes have had a huge and far-reaching impact on the music world, and Chopin's influence can be seen in musicians of his contemporaries and later generations. Famous musicians such as Liszt, Rachmanilov, Skoniabin and Debussy.
Chopin's etudes are used not only to practice piano playing techniques, but also to practice melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and emotional expressions in the pieces. Knicks commented on these etudes as "healthy and fresh, like bathing in the mournfulness seen in dreams", and "in these etudes, the meaning of skill is often balanced with the meaning of beauty." “
During his lifetime, Chopin composed a total of 27 etudes, 12 of Op. 10, 12 of Op. 25, and 3 new etudes.
The first volume, a total of 12 etudes (Op. 10), was dedicated to Liszt because he considered Liszt to be "an excellent interpreter of his own work"; the second volume, also 12 etudes (op. 25), was dedicated to a Countess da Agout who had an unusual relationship with Liszt.
Chopin Etudes Op.10, No.1
Chopin's etudes Op.10, No.1 Etudes in C major, composed in 1830, are a charismatic, passionate and energetic and skillful arpeggio etude. It is clearly influenced by Bach, and in terms of stylistics, it is a decomposition of three and seven chords, and its tone is clear, the harmony is rigorous, and the mood is solemn, close to the "chant". That's why some people also call it "the hymn of the escape."
