Taught by renowned pianist
Marina Lomazov
In this lesson, Marina Lomazov breaks down one of Chopin's most popular and charming virtuoso works, the Étude in F major, Op. 10 No. 8. This is a study in flexibility and suppleness of touch, two characteristic aspects of Chopin's own technique. Lomazov reveals how the character of the main theme is determined by the left hand, and applies grouping strategies to mastering the rising and falling figurations in the right. The development and coda feature a new obstacle every few bars, but Lomazov shows you how to reduce them to simple pieces that you can stitch together like an intricate quilt.
