Chopin Etude Opus 25 #11?
- Thread starter A Friend
- Start date
You do not need to learn it if you can not play the first or any other measure near or at speed after one week of practicing. That is a deadly waste of your time and you are learning nothing but, it is to be hoped, that you have assigned yourself a task far beyond your current level of ability.
The etudes are for advanced pianists who already have a formidable technique, so composed and generally so understood.
I hope this is a self-assignment, and your mistake therefore completely forgivable. If that is the story, go to repertoire you can learn in a reasonable amount of time. That is the way to progress to having that formidable technique which allows you to realistically approach the Chopin Etudes.
If a teacher assigned this to you, you absolutely need a better teacher. No worthwhile teacher would let you touch this etude, or recommend any other Chopin etude to you... yet
Best regards.

Let's have a talk, "friend".
1) It isn't a song. A song is a piece of vocal music for singers. Please call it a masterpiece, a piece, a composition, but don't call it a song unless it has lyrics.
2) Who is your teacher? Why don't you ask him/her suggestions?
3) Many people on Y!A cannot give you tips unless they either know you, see you play, or at least know what you have played recently.
Try pulling out the sheet music for this piece, and read it over several times: http://imslp.org/wiki/Etudes,_Op.25_(Chopin,_Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric)
Etude #11 in A minor.
Best regards.
EDIT: I concur with Petr B, you are deadly wasting your time. I highly disbelieve that you "need" to learn it. What are the consequences if you "don't"? Who assigned this for you, yourself? I 99% believe that you assigned it yourself, because I bet no GOOD piano teacher would assign something beyond one's difficulty.
Go back to playing your "just-right" repetoire. Stay away from this etude at all costs.
EDIT:
@EvenADuckCanHear - Your answer - "gotta luv M doin da flip flop flip flop
1st try dis etude, den agree wit peterb -
what up M?M for monkey C monkey Dew??????"
What sort of English are you using? "M" is for "M", okay? You're showing bad manners and low intelligence in that sort of answer. What are you, a robot?? I'm not a monkey, I am a human!!!!! And I don't spend my time doing the "flip flop".
