Harp Op.25 No.1

Frédéric Chopin

What's this piece like?
Chopin's Harp Étude is a study in voicing, flexible wrists, and light "leggiero" broken chords. The main challenge here is to play the broken chords in the accompaniment with a very light and even sound while projecting the melody at the top.
Who's this piece for?
An incredible piece for advanced pianists looking for a relaxing and inspiring piece to play.
