I'll be honest, that's my ultimate goal with everything.


The new LDS temple in Philadelphia looks really pretty

Those words don't belong together.

Normally yes but the temple makes it pretty

My piano teacher suggested me to play an etude from Chopin.

I think she wants me dead

I only learned today that When You Wish Upon a Star is from Pinocchio, not Cinderella.

What're your strengths? If you play to them (pun intended), you can make it a little easier on yourself.

My piano teacher has always joked about suddenly assigning me a Chopin étude to play hands together for the next class.
And then she actually did it.

WHICH ONE my faves

Op. 10/6 is without a doubt the easiest of all 27 to play well (the TN etudes are often difficult to interpret, the F minor especially, and the D flat is much more demanding than the first two), if you're looking for something easy but gorgeous.
Outside of that, Op. 25/2, 25/7, and 25/9 are probably the most approachable. 10/9 also isn't horrible if you've got decently flexible hands (note that I said flexible and not large).

10/12 (Revolutionary Etude) was a little diffi to get the hang of but once it's all just muscle memory it's a lot of fun to play :-)

10/3, the E major one. It doesn't seem as hard as some other ones, but I just like to joke about Chopin etude torture

I think I'm fairly alright in polyphonic play/playing the upper voice, which is kinda the point in this etude, so I think I'll survive
