That part is very hard to learn and perform with proper tempo. I think I’ve spent more than one month just to learn this étude, especially the middle section, which comprises of many diminished chords. Chopin himself said that it was one of his favorite. I picked étude Op 10 No 3 “Tristesse” as my first because the melody is very beautiful. However, I decided to learn my first Chopin étude in 2021 because I really want to improve my skill.
Well, they are listed by ABRSM as beyond grade 8 piece anyway. I’ve been learning piano since teenager, but I couldn’t perform any of the études, because I think it is too difficult for my level. Fun fact: these études were written when Chopin was in his early 20s. These études are one of the most technically challenged piano pieces ever made. One of the works that I adore is his études, which consist of 2 sets, Op 10 and Op 25, 12 pieces each set. To me, he was a genius pianist and one of the biggest composer in the 19th century.
