How to Play Chopin | Etude in F minor Op.25 No.2 [Tutorial]

Музыка

Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Etude Op.25 No.2 in F minor (The Bees) by Frédéric Chopin.
In this tutorial, I focus on each section with separate hands and both hands, explaining the pedaling, phrasing, timing, specific exercises, and more.
Good luck!

    I mostly agree on everything but the part from the left hand. Chopin is extremely well known for his constant singing in his music. Therefore, the right hand is not the one singing, it’s a whisper in the background for the left one. Makes more sense to me that the first note is the bass and the second note in each group of three is the singing note. Probably I’m wrong

    Interesting description by Schumann as charming, dreamy, and soft, in contrast to its "Bees" nickname. As you play it at speeds above 100, it also ceases to be p. To achieve this tempo, you need your piano action well regulated. I even sold my Yamaha S6 SH, which had a silent system that couldn't be regulated precisely, and got a purely acoustic Bösendorfer to play it. Yet, after many years, I still find it challenging!

    Totally incorrect interpretation of the rhythm and meter, considering the fact that Chopin clearly indicates a duple meter. The RH needs to be maintained as triplets as opposed to feeling a 6/8 feel from the LH triplets. The LH is the cross rhythm and should not be felt as the beat, which is what makes this etude much more difficult than it seems. It is not two notes in the RH against one note in the LH. It is the 1+2+ feel of the triplets in the RH against the cross rhythm in the left. Please stop teaching this etude incorrectly!

  • @Antune

    Thanks for your comment. I want to emphasize that my interpretation is simply one perspective among many. It reflects the best understanding I could offer at that moment. I firmly believe in the importance of embracing diverse interpretations and opposing any notion of a singular 'correct' or 'incorrect' method, as such rigid classifications tend to stifle the richness of artistic expression. Moreover, promoting the consistent triplet feel in the right hand appears not only immensely challenging but also practically unattainable. Chopin's suggested tempo of 112 serves as compelling evidence against such an interpretation. I am not sure if you have seen the entire video, but I never asserted the necessity for the right hand to evoke a sense of 6/8 time, nor did I advocate for a ratio of "two" notes in the right hand against "one" in the left hand. Upon careful listening to my performance, you'll likely find that neither of these approaches is prominent in my interpretation. My focus has remained on Chopin's indication of this Etude being in duple meter, as evidenced by his initial draft in 2/4, which I include in the video. Ultimately, let's remember that music transcends mere numerical constructs. Our primary aim should always be to convey emotion and beauty through our performances. Warm regards!

    @@Antune Sorry, but I must disagree with many of the claims in your response. I’m not trying to be negative or combative, but we are not at liberty to change anything the composer has indicated as a means to reaching or justifying “artistic expression” to make the technical and musical execution of the work easier. When it comes to what the composer has clearly indicated, there is no room for “diverse interpretations.” The rigid classification here is the meter, and that renders the RH triplets as the main metrical focus. Of course maintaining the triplets in the RH is immensely challenging! That’s the point that everyone has missed for decades. You might not think that you are advocating the incorrect interpretation of feeling the LH as the beat, but your practice suggestions of linking two notes in the RH to one note in the LH in the first few minutes of your video is inevitably going to cause performers to produce a 6/8 feel for the listener. My point is that Chopin did not intend for that to happen. Music in this style and Era does NOT transcend any numerical constructs, especially if the composer has clearly provided the basic notational information to begin learning the work correctly. The fact remains that the meter of this Etude is duple, the RH is the 1+2+ pulse in triplet subdivisions, and the LH is a cross-rhythm. Unfortunately, many, if not all, of the performances and tutorials on this Etude fail to stress this fact. I appreciate your efforts to help others play this Etude by suggesting practice techniques and such, but the difficulty of this Etude is extremely convoluted and enough so to rank it much higher in the list of hardest-to-easiest lists. It’s time we all start to think about this Etude as a true test of the performer’s ability to NOT fall into the easier 6/8 meter that makes this etude much easier to play. It’s just another example of how crafty and innovative he was in testing the limits…
