About the piece

Three studies Chopin composed in 1839, not for his own opus series but as a contribution to the Methode des methodes de piano, a teaching anthology compiled by Ignaz Moscheles and Francois-Joseph Fetis. Quieter and more inward than the famous Op. 10 and Op. 25 sets, they focus on subtler problems, chiefly the control of conflicting rhythms between the hands, and are often overlooked despite containing some of his most refined small-scale writing.
