“12 Études, Op. 10” is a work by Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) with 12 pieces, difficulty 8–10/10. Twelve studies that turned the technical exercise into concert music. Each one explores in depth a pianistic device that was new for its time. 12 of them have a playable score in Estudio de Piano, with the microphone or MIDI.

How to practice it

  1. Start very slowly with minimal pedal so you can hear every note.
  2. Keep to short sessions: fatigue leads to tension and injury.
  3. Raise the tempo only when your hand is relaxed at the current speed.
