Chopin Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor, known as the Revolutionary Étude or the Étude on the Bombardment of Warsaw, is a solo piano work by Frédéric Chopin written in 1831, and the last in his first set, Etudes Op.10, dedicated "à son ami Franz Liszt" ("to his friend Franz Liszt"). The 12th Étude appeared around the same time as the November Uprising in 1831. Chopin poured his emotions on the matter into many pieces that he composed at that time, the "Revolutionary Étude" standing out as the most notable example. Upon conclusion of Poland's failed revolution against Russia, he cried "All this has caused me much pain. Who could have foreseen it!" Unlike études of prior periods (works designed to emphasize and develop particular aspects of musical technique), the romantic études of composers such as Chopin and Liszt are fully developed musical concert pieces, but still continue to represent a goal of developing stronger technique. - You can support the channel by buying me a coffee here :) : PayPal: https://paypal.me/stanislavstanchev Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/realstanchev Best of Chopin: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-gMUZOrx5epkR1GTe-Sje3zVn97FNRTH More Classical Music: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-gMUZOrx5er99FxbV-aBss5kHUFCZkfa If you like the video subscribe for my channel to keep up with my latest work! :) Thanks for watching! #Chopin #Etude #Revolutionary
