Etude Op. 10 No. 5 – Chopin

Chopin’s Étude Op. 10 No. 5 in G-flat major, nicknamed the “Black Key” Étude, is a playful and virtuosic work that focuses on the use of the black keys. The piece’s light and airy melody, accompanied by rapid runs and arpeggios played primarily on the black keys, create a sense of whimsy and charm. This arrangement for piano challenges pianists to develop their technical agility while maintaining a light touch and expressive phrasing.
