Étude in E Opus 10: Frédéric Chopin

The main theme to this work, popularized as "No Other Love," and the one translated into "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," are the two most well-known of Chopin's melodies. If you've never heard the lovely real thing, here it is. There was a time when I could play this thing, except for the middle part. Most avocational pianists will say the same thing.

Ah! Tristesse! Would you you believe I was searching YouTube for this recently for my blog? I didn't find a performance that fit what I wanted . . . and I abandoned the project - only to find it here! I love this piece! My grandfather had a mini-bust of Chopin/ music box that played this etude. I played it over and over again as a child. I now have my own music box - and though it looks different, it reminds me. Wow - thanks!
