\u00c9tude Op. 10, No. 5<\/em><\/a> in G-Flat\u00a0 Major is a study for solo piano composed by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin<\/a> in 1830. This work is characterized by the rapid triplet figuration played by the right hand exclusively on black keys, except for one note, a F natural in measure 66. Chopin himself did not believe the study to be his most interesting one, and in a letter to his pianist friend and musical executor\u00a0Julian Fontana\u00a0he comments on\u00a0Clara Wieck\u2019s performance: “Did Wieck play my \u00c9tude well? How could she have chosen precisely this \u00c9tude, the least interesting for those who do not know that it is intended for the black keys, instead of something better! It would have been better to remain silent.<\/em>” – Vladimir Horowitz<\/a><\/p>\n
