Étude Op. 10 No. 4 in C-sharp minor "Torrent"

By 

Frédéric Chopin

Chopin's Étude Op. 10 No. 4 in C-sharp Minor, often called the "Torrent" étude, is a piece of unrelenting velocity and technical complexity, presenting a formidable challenge for even the most skilled pianists. The work demands exceptional agility and endurance to execute its rapid successions of notes and its notoriously difficult hand crossings. This étude is not only a test of dexterity but also of the musician's ability to maintain musicality under the pressure of its blistering pace, requiring a seamless blend of precision and passion.

Étude Op. 10 No. 4 in C-sharp minor "Torrent"

by:

Marina Lomazov

One of those most thrilling pieces in the entire piano repertoire, Chopin’s Étude in C-sharp minor, Op. 10 No. 4 is a fast and furious obstacle course. One of Chopin's rare ambidextrous etudes, it offers the ideal training grounds for developing evenness and precision in rapid passagework in both hands. Marina Lomazov breaks down the piece's twists and turns, zeroing in on the most notorious spots that often deter otherwise capable students from attempting the work. Her creative practice strategies will help you to build agility and control, and ultimately shift gears from an ebbing and flowing moderato practice tempo to a torrential Presto.
